Navigating the teen driving years
Welcome to the world of teen driving! As
a parent of a new teen driver did you know:
- 1 in 5 new drivers will be involved
in a crash within the first two years of driving,
- car crashes are the #1 killer of youth
aged 13 to 25 in BC, or that
- teens are more susceptible than older
drivers to peer pressure?

provide you with tips and insight to help you "navigate"
through your teen's early driving years.
What can you do?

risks and make sure your teen does too

time in your and your teen's life
