Being Your Teen's Driving Coach

Being Your Teen’s Driving Coach

As you use these tips in the car with your teen, remember that the delivery of the information is just as important as the information itself. To be a successful coach, you need to motivate your teen during driving sessions…

* First and foremost, act calm and relaxed (key word here is “act”).
* Have your teen talk about what they are doing and thinking as they drive.
* Keep the lesson moving by giving instructions in real time.
* Point out signs, traffic patterns and challenges as they happen.
* Act more as copilot than taskmaster — guide, don’t order.
* Never assume your teen knows what to do next.
* Avoid open-ended questions in the car, such as “What would you do if…”

They tend to make people nervous, and your new driver is probably nervous enough.

Parent Tip: Taking on the role of driving coach and sharing years of
experience may save your child’s life.

Parent Tip: Enroll your child into a defensive driving course - they are low-cost, will teach life-saving skills behind the wheels and most insurance companies offer discounts for drivers who have completed a defensive driving course.
