|
AAA Program can help parents and teens
learn together
Parental involvement is critical during the driver education process and AAA has put together a package of lesson materials titled Teaching Your Teens to Drive, that helps parents work with their
teenage drivers during the driver education process.
These materials characterize AAA's approach to driver training — introduce the responsibility of driving to teens in graduated stages through a proven training curriculum based on the most common causes of teen-driver crashes.
Teaching Your Teens to Drive contains a colorfully illustrated handbook, detailed teacher guide,
live-action video and interactive DVD.
Thirteen lessons focus on developing the following skills:
- Basic vehicle control
- Positioning and speed adjustment
- Passing and off-road maneuvers
- Visual search habits
- Freeway and night
driving
- Driving on slippery
surfaces
- Reducing risks
Before taking to the road, parents and teens
are encouraged to watch together each of the 13
lessons contained in the 50-minute program. Then, during in-car driving
lessons, follow the step-by-step approaches contained in each section.
While the "Teaching Your Teens To Drive" package is available to the general public, it is offered to AAA members at a discount.
