When it comes to giving adults a fright, three
of the top-10 have to be:
1. the impending
arrival of your first child
2. the day your child
leaves for college
3. dealing with a
teenager who is old enough to drive.
Other than the angst of having to worry
about teaching your teen how to drive, then lending them the family sedan to go
to the mall, today’s parents have a lot more to worry about then mine did back
in the 80’s. That’s because there are so
many more things to distract teenagers behind the wheel nowadays. When one realizes that more than 650 teenagers
are injured and an average of 6 are killed in vehicle-related crashes every day
in the US, I thought it was time I provided all you parents out there with a
short list of hazards faced by teenage drivers.
