Rules for a Teenage Driver Vestal NY

1. Start off slow. When your teen first starts to drive, don't give her free reign of the car keys. Have your teen start off slow, with short local trips. Don't give your newly licensed teen the option of taking the car for a whirlwind weekend -- there will be plenty of time for that later.
   
   
2. Curfew rules. Most states have young driver curfews. If you wish, your own family curfew can be even earlier -- and it probably should be, especially with a beginning driver. If your state has no curfew law, you certainly ought to establish one for your children. You and your teen should come up with a curfew hour that both find reasonable.
   
   
3. Passenger rules. When your teen wants to use the car, ask him where he's going and if he'll have any passengers. It is important, especially with new drivers, to put a limit on the number of passengers. The limit should be one or two at first -- too many passengers in the car can cause distractions for your teen driver, putting all of them in greater danger.
   
   
4. Cell phone use. You should forbid all cell phone use while your teen is driving. Talking on a cell phone while driving is dangerous for even the most experienced drivers.
