Car Insurance

So, what does a parent think while sitting in the passenger seat
and their teen is driving with a permit license? A “bump” in the
parking lot with another car? Traffic tickets for moving
violations? Insurance rates sky-rocketing?

If you visit search engines you can find several resources to
assist you on this subject. Try searching on the phrase “parents
with teen drivers”. Alternatively we have tried to make this easy
for you if you visit our news page on this very topic.

A few resources on the web for parents are:

Parent-Teen Contract

You might also consider using a driving safety contract between
you and your teen. This is an agreement that your child signs, in
which he agrees to be a safe driver by following all restrictions
you have imposed or risk losing his driving privileges. An
example of this can be found at:

Talk It Out

Work with your teen driver to talk through their thought process
while driving. Let’s not over-do this to the point that they
cannot concentrate on driving. More specifics can be found in the
book for parents at: http://www.safeyoungdrivers.com/

Helpful thoughts for parents in brief are:

Drive by example
Watch your emotional response while your teen is driving
Work with your teen on various driving conditions, not just dry
sunny days.
Large open fields or empty parking lots are good sources for
practicing
Of course while you’re working with your teen driver and their
permit license, we have to keep the drivers around us in mind
too. Auto Safety Magnets has a focus strictly on car safety for
teen drivers, their parents and driving schools. Our magnets will
increase road awareness and traffic safety. Help keep the roads
safe for you and other drivers. We invite you to sign-up for our
