Memorial weekend mark the unofficial start of summer, which means a lot of our teenagers will be returning to the nest for a few months. Which why this Thursday we're throwing it back to 2012, when Autotrader published "5 Safe Summer Driving Tips for Your Teen."
"Parents can help to lower their child's risk by following our five tips for safe teen summer driving," it reads. "AutoTrader.com shares tips to draw parents' attention to the risks teens face, especially during summer months. Aimed at parents, the comprehensive recommendations, from buying a safe car for a teen driver to simply buckling up, help parents to promote safety for teens behind the wheel."
So what tips are on the list? Choose your teen's car carefully, educate your teen on proper car maintenance, insist on seatbelt use, and warn against distracted driving and the over-use of cruise control.
