Teenagers and cars - safety 1st


Purchasing a car for a home? The likelihood that a teenager would make the decision of which car to buy is great. By the time they're sixteen, teenagers already have an idea of the vehicle they'd want their parents to purchase. There is a show called "My Sweet 16," and the gift given to the 16 yr old is always a car. The ads on tv shows the teenager how their popularity will increase driving certain luxury vehicles. A concerned parent would consider the following points when purchasing a car for a teenager:


  • Avoid vehicles that encourage reckless driving (sports car) .

  • Don't let your teen drive an unstable vehicle (SUVs).

  • Pick a vehicle that offers good crash prtection.

  • Don't let your teen drive a small vehicle.

  • Avoid older vehicles.

If these simple steps are followed then rate of teenage deaths in motor vehicle crashes would be reduced. Drive safely...
