tips for TEENS

• Always wear your seat belt.

• Don’t drink and drive. Drinking under the age of 21 is illegal.

• Don’t talk or text on your cellphone while driving.

• Obey the speed limit. Going too fast gives you less time to react.

• Don’t eat or drink while driving.

• Adjust radio and climate controls before beginning your trip, have your passenger adjust the controls for you or pull over to a safe place to adjust the controls.

• Since in many cases the teen driver shares a vehicle with a parent/guardian, the driver’s seat and all mirrors should be adjusted prior to beginning a trip.

• If you cannot see a truck’s mirrors the driver cannot see you.

• Plan ahead; know where you are going and get directions.

• Leave early. Give yourself plenty of time to get there.

Expect the unexpected. You never know what can happen.
