Home Study Driving Course Helps Parents and Teens Enjoy This Rite of Passage

In the area of North Carolina where I live, the majority of teen drivers receive about 6 hours of on the road drivers’ education before they are allowed to become permitted drivers. This of course is just the start. We know well that each teen driver should have another 100 hours or more experience driving with their parents before they should be permitted to obtain their license and drive alone.

But the real question that most parents should be asking themselves is what and how do they instruct their child during that 100 hours? How will they know that they have covered all of the situations that their child needs to understand before they turn them loose alone?

In order to solve this problem, I have created the Teach Your Teen To Drive Guide. This is a 49 page book that takes the parent/teacher from soup to nuts on what to do and how to do it. Each of the 12 chapters simulates a specific driving skill and has a checklist at the end of the chapter so that you can keep up with your child’s progress. The book starts out in a parking lot and ends up with you simulating emergency procedures like getting the car back on the road safely when the wheels have run off onto the shoulder.

This book is offered free to all clients of Clinard Insurance Group and sold to non-clients for $49.95 per month.

Whether you use this guide or some other, the important point is that as a parent you should coach your child through a minimum of 100 hours driving with you in the passenger seat. You want to try and find all the opportunities that you can to put your child in more and more difficult driving conditions with you as the copilot. They will face these situations eventually anyway so it is best that they do it with you there to guide them.
