The day your teen gets their license, your worry doesn’t end. It just moves to the passenger seat.
Next week is Teen Driver Safety Week! After more than a decade helping Georgia families through the worst days of their lives, I can tell you something hopeful: many of the crashes I’ve seen started with habits that one honest conversation could have changed.
Here are the 5 talks every parent should have before handing over the keys:
1️⃣ The phone stays down. Every drive.
2️⃣ Everyone buckles up, every seat, every trip.
3️⃣ Know Georgia’s passenger rules for new drivers.
4️⃣ Speed limits aren’t suggestions.
5️⃣ Never drive impaired, and never ride with someone who is.
These aren’t one-time lectures. They’re ongoing conversations, and your teen is watching how you drive, too.
Swipe through, save this, and share it with a parent who’s about to hand over the keys. 💙
