The document provides 5 tips for teen driving safety: 1) Always require seatbelt use to reduce injury in accidents. 2) Eliminate distractions like phones that are the primary cause of crashes. 3) Practice defensive driving by anticipating errors from others. 4) Limit the number of passengers initially to reduce distractions. 5) Choose a car with high safety ratings and technologies.

2. Tip #1: Always Buckle Up
Make sure your teen knows
buckling up is not an option.
Statistics prove that wearing a
seat belt can significantly reduce
the seriousness of car accidents.
And don’t forget to set the
example by always wearing your
seat belt as well.

3. Tip #2: Eliminate Distractions
Distracted driving is the leading
cause of car accidents among teens
and adults. Teach your teen to not
text, eat, mess with music, among
other things while they’re behind
the wheel.

4. Tip #3: Practice Defensive Driving
Instill these driving skills in your teen
before they hit the road solo:
• Be mindful of other drivers, motorists,
and pedestrians
• Anticipate other driver mistakes
• Adhere to driving laws and speed limit
• Place enough distance between you
and the car ahead of you
• Always keep your eyes on the road

5. Tip #4: Set a Passenger Limit
It’s easy to get distracted if you
have too many people in the
car, especially for new drivers.
So sit down with your teen and
decide on how many
passengers they’re allowed to
have in the car during their first
year as a licensed driver.

and crash tests. Our Orlando
