Teen drivers make up the largest percentage of auto accidents – more than any other age group.  However, with safe driving practices you can stay safe on the roads this summer!  Here are a  few tips to help you drive safely.

Safety Tips:
  • Turn off Your Phone – Studies show that using your cell phone while driving can be just as dangerous as driving under the influence.  This is even true with hands-free devices!  
  • Don’t Text and Drive – On average, texting causes loss of focus for 5 seconds.  A lot can go wrong in 5 seconds!
  • Use Your Headlights – Doing so can increase your visibility and help other drivers see you both at night and on sunny days.
  • Drive at the Speed Limit – Speeding is the cause of 40% of all fatal teen accidents.
  • Practice Defensive Driving – Always make sure that you maintain a buffer zone between you and the car in front of you, depending on the speed limit.

  1. These are truly awesome and safe driving tips for teens. I am in search of a reputed Port Macquarie Driving School to take automatic as well as manual driving lessons. Hope to find best school within my budget.
