Graduation and Summer Break Fast Approaches!

Hi! This is an exciting time of the year for teens with graduation and the upcoming summer break on their minds. This is also a time when, more than any other time of the year, parents must remain vigilant on their teen driver's safety. Why? Because this is when the number of teen driver accidents increase along with the number of deaths. So, what can you do? First, start by talking with your teen. Express your concerns and stress the importance of not drinking and driving. This discussion with your teen will help them understand the dangers as well as the responsibility they have to their passengers and others on the road. Second, consider getting a contract between you and your teen driver. You can get a copy by visiting my website at www.TeenDriverInsurance.com/AllAmerican. This contract will put in writing the rules they must follow in order to continue enjoying their privilege of driving. Third, make sure your teen understands that you are always willing to pick them up, no matter what time it is, if they have been drinking. You may not know whether your teen drinks alcohol, but statistics prove that the majority does. Don't take a chance because you think your teen doesn't drink. Just make sure that if they ever get into a situation where they even have one drink, they should never get behind the wheel. Let them know that you'll be glad to pick them up. Best of luck during this dangerous time and I wish you and your family good health, happiness and prosperity! Bill
