Tips for New Drivers!

Whether you're 16 and about to get your license or just new to the task entirely, we have some great tips for new drivers! Getting on the road can be a nerve-racking experience, but there are some ways that help make the process enjoyable and easy.

1) Always wear your seat belt! In fact, it is perfectly to refrain from starting the car until all passengers are buckled up. 

2) Put the phone down. Keep your phone in your purse or in your pocket until you exit the vehicle. Remember, it can wait!

3) Obey the speed limit. Speeding causes about 40% of all fatal teen accidents. That's especially true when driving on roads with lots of traffic or you're not familiar with.

4)  Always be aware of the traffic ahead, behind, and next to you, and have possible escape routes in mind. 

5) If possible, drive a safe car with the latest safety equipment (such as anti-lock brakes, electronic stability control, and air bags), and one with an excellent crash safety record.
