      Driver Safety Tips for Teenagers

      • Always wear your seat belt.
      • Obey the speed limit. Going too fast gives you less time to react.
      • Use your turn signals so other drivers know what you are doing.
      • Don't drink and drive. Drinking under the age of 21 is illegal.
      • Focus on the driving task-the road and the conditions around you.
      • Don't use your cell phone while driving. This is a distraction that will take your attention away from driving.
      • Don't eat or drink while driving. These are also distractions.
      • Plan ahead. Know where you are going and get directions.
      • Leave early. Give yourself plenty of time to get there.
