Course Highlights:

  • Convenient Learning: Invest just 15 to 20 minutes, three times a week, watching and discussing short instructional videos with your teen. In just six weeks, you can complete the program without disrupting your hectic lifestyle.

Remember, parents have the most significant impact on their teenager’s driving skills and behavior.
  • Hands-On Engagement: This course is not something you hand over to your teen; it’s designed for you, the parent. Watch the videos together and engage in discussions. Learning happens through these conversations, ensuring your teen gains a deep understanding of essential driving concepts.

Course Benefits:

  1. Parking Proficiency: Learn how to teach your teen parallel parking, parking in a stall, and maneuvering in tight spaces safely, minimizing any risk to your vehicle.
  2. Conflict Resolution: Utilize our Driving Session Evaluation Form to set clear expectations and avoid conflicts with your teen during driving practice sessions.
  3. Skill Mastery: Track your teen’s progress with our Skills Verification Checklist, ensuring they acquire crucial driving skills.
  4. Stopping Distance Understanding: Explore how decision and reaction times affect stopping distances, demonstrating the impact of speed on safety.

  6. Accident Prevention: Identify and discuss the most common traffic situations that cause accidents, equipping your teen with strategies to stay safe.
