Some Tips...
1.) Teach your child the laws of the land, and make sure they follow them to exact orders. If you catch them doing something unsafe, don't let them drive. Better safe than sorry, right?
2.) Monkey See, Monkey Do. Enough said.
3.) As aforementioned, there is a good grade incentive for young drivers. Another way you can "bribe" your kids into driving well is to pass the savings from their good grades that you receive onto them. Now obviously, don't give them the full amount you save, but even 100.00 or so every payment period will be more than worth it to you.
4.) No sports cars, no red cars, no yellow cars. Is it true that red cars up your insurance? Sometimes yes, sometimes no. But it is 100% true that they catch the eye easier than a dark blue, green, brown, or black car driving at the same speed. Something teenager's don't need is a car that attracts the wrong attention (just ask me about it).
5.) RIDE with your child. The first few months are the most important in developing safe driving habits for your child. But be forewarned, they will want to be alone, and on their own, and they will HATE you riding with them, but it will pay off. And when the time comes for you to let them be "free" (in their minds anyways), all those bickering matches about "10 and 2" will hopefully have payed their dues.
