Three
components factor into whether or not someone is a safe driver:
their technical ability, the amount of time they’ve spent behind
the wheel, and the knowledge about rules of the road. When it comes
to teens, these components are all very important when they get
to legal driving age and that in Nevada is 16. While you may be able
to teach your teen how to merge safely and parallel park with
ease, they could miss out on valuable education if you don’t sign
them up for an introductory driving course. This is called Drivers
Ed, to your teen it may seem pointless but it will be beneficial in
the long run.
Driver’s
ed doesn’t just supervise the 30-40 mandated driving hours before
your teen gets their license, but goes over local driving laws, asks
questions about tough scenarios you might encounter while driving,
and prepares your teen for the written and physical driving test.
With all of this practice and knowledge, it makes sense why it helps
on the road.
I
have never been in a crash but being in one can change your life and
the other person that is affected. It is very important to always
drive safe, 2 hands on the wheel and free of distractions.
