Parents Draft Contracts on Teen Drivers

Some parents are taking matters into their own hands and imposing driving restrictions on their teen - with or without a Graduated Driver's License in place.

According to a new policy titled The Teen Driver written by the American Academy of Pediatrics, experts say that parents who serve as driving role models while ensuring their teen gets adequate supervised driver education training are the key to saving teens' lives. This has encouraged some parents to start drawing up driving contracts with their teen. The driving contracts impose restrictions on the teen such as what car they can drive, when they can drive and who is in the car. If violated, parents are in control and can revoke driving privileges.

Your teen may rebel, but will soon realize this is what it's going to take to ensure they're safe on the road.
