UNDERSTANDING
THE STATISTICS
“The greatest lifetime chance of crashing occurs within the first 6 months of licensure.”
Motor Vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for U.S. teens. Fortunately, teen motor crashes are preventable, and proven strategies can improve the safety of young drivers on the road. Studies have shown that more involvement from the parents of a novice driver reduces the risk of accidents within the critical first year of driving. They have also shown that targeting educational and awareness initiatives and tools will not only increase a teen's driving skills but parents as well. Coaching New Drivers believes that teens and our roads can be safer, by using this online teen driver training program we hope to reduce collisions and deaths on our roads.
THE DANGER ZONES
Driver Inexperience
Teen drivers have underdeveloped skills that can only be gained through experience, they often miss or react late to a hazard increasing crash risk.
These 8 major danger zones have been determined by researchers as the greatest areas of risk a teen will face in a driving environment. The Coaching New Drivers program uses these danger zones as the basis of their learning platform. Utilizing this program to better prepare new drivers during the learner's phase and maintain what they have learned through the first six months of driving on their own can drastically reduce their probability of getting in a collision.
As a parent you hold the key to building a solid foundation, attitude and skill set to last your new driver a lifetime, let this course be your blueprint!
