Here are some questions you may want to ask yourself before you start the conversation.
- In general, does your teen show good judgment?
- Do they generally resist peer pressure when it comes to risky or harmful behavior?
- Is your teen willing to follow state driving laws and your rules?
- Does your teen seem comfortable behind the wheel?
- Does your teen truly understand what “safe driving” means? The Allstate Foundation’s research shows that teens differentiate between “good” drivers and “safe” drivers. For example, teens consider “good” drivers to be those who can handle a car at high speeds while a “safe” driver follows all the rules.
