Teen
driver book.
The
Council’s new
Family
Guide to Teen Driver Safety gives parents the knowledge to
help their teens obtain needed driving experience and reduce
their risk of crashes. NSC
and its local chapters will be holding
parent workshops to introduce parents to the issues
and how they can
apply the principles of Graduated Licensing in their own families.
The new guide
helps parents better understand the risks associated with teen
drivers and
the remedies to reduce those risks. To order, call
customer service at 800-621-7619.
