This is National Teen Driver Safety Week. A AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety study says that teenagers do not get enough diverse driving experiences before they get their licenses. The study looked at the behaviors and outlooks of families as they taught their pre-licensed teens how to drive.
Nearly half of the parents in the study say that after the year-long supervised permit stage there was at least one condition in which they did not feel comfortable letting their teen drive. However, more than a third of these families allowed their teen to obtain a license within a month of becoming eligible.
AAA has launched a new teen driver safety website. Go to TeenDriving.AAA.com.
