THE DANGERS OF TEENAGE DRIVING – MALAYALAM SKODA


Have a young driver who is ready to hit the road? We have tips that will help better prepare your teen for success while behind the wheel which could save lives!


Buckle up

Seat belt use is one of the most effective ways to save lives as it would lower the chances of injuries for you to meet a road accident.

Teenage drivers have higher crash risk than adults and not wearing seatbelts will make them more vulnerable to crash injuries.

So, parents should insist on wearing seat belts on every trip and encourage their teens to buckle up before turning on the ignition.


Hang up the phone

One of the most common and dangerous distractions for teen drivers is cell phone use while driving.

Usage of cell phone coupled with inexperience and lack of driving skills of teens, multitasking behind the wheels can be deadly and life-threatening.


Slow down

Teens tend to have the need for speed due to their impulsive nature and poor judgment. It increases the likelihood that a crash will result in a serious injury.

As part of supervised driving practice, be sure to cover speed management for various conditions and continue to stress the dangers of speeding to your teens.


Don’t Drink and Drive

Alcohol is still a factor in many deadly car crashes involving teens. Alcohol impairs most of the skills that young drivers need the most, such as their reaction time, their vision, and their judgment.


Watch the weather

In inclement weather, it is even more dangerous for a young driver to be on the road due to their inexperience handling the car in those situations. Teach your child how to confidently handle weather challenges.


Vehicle Maintenance

Learning road rules and practicing safe driving skills will definitely help keep your teen driver safe. However, car maintenance is also very important. Be sure to explain that upkeep is a responsibility that all drivers need to address.
