00:00:02.250 --> 00:00:04.180
- The number one crash risk for teens

2
00:00:04.180 --> 00:00:05.670
is actually inexperience.

3
00:00:05.670 --> 00:00:06.950
- They're very riskiest time

4
00:00:06.950 --> 00:00:09.050
is the first six months of driving.

5
00:00:09.050 --> 00:00:11.590
That's when the parent
needs to really closely

6
00:00:11.590 --> 00:00:13.320
monitor what's happening.

7
00:00:13.320 --> 00:00:14.920
- It's important to let her know

8
00:00:14.920 --> 00:00:16.830
all the consequences and things that,

9
00:00:16.830 --> 00:00:18.010
if she doesn't follow through,

10
00:00:18.010 --> 00:00:20.250
she'll know what I expect from her.

11
00:00:20.250 --> 00:00:22.030
She'll know what she's supposed to do,

12
00:00:22.030 --> 00:00:23.739
what's wrong, what's right.

13
00:00:23.739 --> 00:00:26.406
(digital music)

14
00:00:28.826 --> 00:00:30.240
- One of the things that's
really wonderful about

15
00:00:30.240 --> 00:00:34.450
driving, is that is it is a
time when teens and parents

16
00:00:34.450 --> 00:00:36.260
have to work together on something.

17
00:00:36.260 --> 00:00:38.170
- And the parent teen driver agreement,

18
00:00:38.170 --> 00:00:40.660
is a document that can
get parents and teens

19
00:00:40.660 --> 00:00:43.800
to begin a conversation
about safe driving.

20
00:00:43.800 --> 00:00:46.980
- My mom has talked to me
about the responsibilities

21
00:00:46.980 --> 00:00:49.460
of being good driver and--

22
00:00:49.460 --> 00:00:50.941
- Following the rules.

23
00:00:50.941 --> 00:00:52.340
- Yeah, following the rules.

24
00:00:52.340 --> 00:00:55.385
- The parent teen driver
agreement has a basic outline

25
00:00:55.385 --> 00:00:58.750
of rules that the teen should follow

26
00:00:58.750 --> 00:01:00.120
in order to keep them safe.

27
00:01:00.120 --> 00:01:03.510
- We encourage parents
to limit the conditions

28
00:01:03.510 --> 00:01:06.960
under which teens can drive to daytime or

29
00:01:06.960 --> 00:01:10.850
at least not very late
and zero or one passenger

30
00:01:10.850 --> 00:01:14.810
or no inclement weather
driving; fairly basic things.

31
00:01:14.810 --> 00:01:17.100
- And it also lets the teen
and the parent work together

32
00:01:17.100 --> 00:01:19.360
to set up the consequences.

33
00:01:19.360 --> 00:01:22.147
- Let's talk about the consequences.

34
00:01:22.147 --> 00:01:23.920
- Curfew violation.

35
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:25.540
- Yeah, we have issues with that one.

36
00:01:25.540 --> 00:01:27.200
- What if it's thirty minutes?

37
00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:28.033
That's not too long.
- No, it's not up

38
00:01:28.033 --> 00:01:29.150
for discussion about that.

39
00:01:29.150 --> 00:01:32.190
Violation, curfew, you
need to just respect that.

40
00:01:32.190 --> 00:01:35.110
- It's about progressively
giving them privileges

41
00:01:35.110 --> 00:01:37.480
as they show that they
can handle a highway

42
00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:40.196
and many other situations
that they're gonna be facing.

43
00:01:40.196 --> 00:01:44.290
- One of my biggest fears
is Daija being distracted

44
00:01:44.290 --> 00:01:45.210
while she's driving.

45
00:01:45.210 --> 00:01:46.710
I just need her to be focused.

46
00:01:47.830 --> 00:01:52.820
- My biggest fears and
worries are that I won't

47
00:01:52.820 --> 00:01:57.820
drive good enough or I'll
get in a car accident.

48
00:01:58.570 --> 00:02:02.390
My mom's expectations are that just follow

49
00:02:02.390 --> 00:02:04.751
whatever she says, follow the law,

50
00:02:04.751 --> 00:02:07.600
and be the best driver.

51
00:02:07.600 --> 00:02:09.620
- Teens who report that
their parents would be

52
00:02:09.620 --> 00:02:13.430
very upset with them if they engaged in

53
00:02:13.430 --> 00:02:16.820
risky driving behavior, report much less

54
00:02:16.820 --> 00:02:19.610
risky driving behavior, and they report

55
00:02:19.610 --> 00:02:21.583
fewer violations of the law.

56
00:02:24.040 --> 00:02:26.540
- If I do something I can't
just talk her out of it

57
00:02:26.540 --> 00:02:27.640
'cause it's on paper.

58
00:02:27.640 --> 00:02:29.550
If it wasn't on paper, I
could just lie and be like,

59
00:02:29.550 --> 00:02:32.330
you never said that, but since on paper,

60
00:02:32.330 --> 00:02:35.390
I know she's gonna go
back a lot and look at it.

61
00:02:35.390 --> 00:02:36.640
- Yeah, I might frame it.

62
00:02:38.023 --> 00:02:40.690
