As your child enters the teenage years, they will experience many new changes. As a parent, you need to make sure they take their responsibilities seriously as they mature into young adults. One of these responsibilities includes obtaining a drivers license. With this privilege, it is important to make sure your child is safe on the road and has reliable protection in case of the unpredictable.
According to Auto Guide, a study conducted by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety found that teenage drivers are 50% more likely to get into a car crash in their first month of driving than after a year of driving by themselves. These drivers are also twice more likely to get into an accident during the first month than after two years of driving experience.
From the data collected, 57% of the accidents happened because teens were driving too fast, weren’t paying attention, or failed to yield to other cars. Researchers also found that teens got into quite a few left-hand turn crashes, which suggests that young drivers could use more practice when it comes to certain driving maneuvers.
At Hamlin, Robert & Ridgeway, we hope both parents and teenagers take this information into account. It is important to never be distracted while driving and to always keep your eyes and mind focused on driving. In addition, to ensure that your peace of mind is intact when thinking about your teen driving, make sure you cover them with our New York auto insurance!
