Summer break means more freedom for teens, but it also means more time behind the wheel. With school out, many young drivers travel with friends, heading to summer jobs or taking road trips, which can increase the risk of accidents.
Parents can help by setting clear driving expectations, limiting distractions, and encouraging safe habits like wearing seat belts and avoiding phone use while driving. It's also a good time to review your auto insurance policy and make sure your teen driver has the coverage they need.
A little preparation can help keep your family safe and give everyone peace of mind throughout the summer.
