On the Road, Off the PhoneTexTing and driving

Teen drivers enter the roadways with the best of intentions, lots of excitement and with the least amount of experience behind the wheel. Add the potential distractions of texting or talking on the phone while driving to the equation and the situation could become dangerous, quickly.

Distractions caused by cell phones are especially dangerous for teen drivers because they are the most inexperienced drivers of any group. They also fall into the group that is most likely to use a mobile phone and send text messages while driving.

Talking on the phone and texting while driving are high-risk activities that often last longer than other distractions like adjusting the radio or eating while operating a vehicle.

For most teens, it takes restraint not to text while driving and can be a difficult behavior to change. Rules set by parents will help reduce this threat. All drivers’ first few months as an unsupervised driver are a particularly risky time – the most risky time for your teen driver.

You Make The rules

It’s important to set expectations up front with your teen about good driving behaviors you expect him or her to follow and clearly state the consequences if rules are broken. Example rules include:

ǜ When you’re on the road, you must stay off the phone. That means no texting, no checking for messages, no reading emails and no talking.

ǜ Only use a mobile phone when the car is safely parked.

ǜ If you find it hard to resist the urge to check the phone, try putting the cell phone in the glove compartment.

Don’t forget: Driving is a privilege parents can grant only when your teen is ready to make safe decisions. Tell teen drivers: when they’re on the road, they’re off the phone.
