When preparing teens for real-world driving, many people don't consider that their own road habits have a direct influence on their kids. When you use your phone on the road, it inadvertently conveys that this behavior is okay, which is why it's best to avoid it at all costs, especially anytime they're in the car with you. Studies show that teens model the driving behavior of their parents, so along with having a conversation about driving dos and don'ts, it's also very important to model good driving habits.
In addition, the vehicle you purchase for your teen will also have an effect on their safety.
