Synopsis

Teenagers are by far the most dangerous age group on the road: a 16-year-old is 12 times as likely as older drivers to die in a crash as a single occupant; put two young teens in a vehicle, and the odds of death and injury nearly double. Safe Young Drivers helps to address this enormous problem. It is an indispensable guide for teaching teens to drive. Intended for parents and teens to use together, it addresses parental issues such as how to choose a car for your teen, and provides teens with simple instruction and important tips to remember. With simple graphics, a complete index, and a section called Some ABCs for the Road, Safe Young Drivers is a valuable tool for all new drivers and their teachers.

Review:

One of the best investments you'll make in your child's life... This is a book that every parent trying to teach a teenager to drive ought to read. This is not just a safe-driving manual: It is about the relationship between parents and teenagers and how teaching our children to drive can strengthen that relationship. It is also about the relationship we have with other drivers -- and that's a notion that mindlessly aggressive 'adult' drivers could contemplate as well. --Judy Mann, columnist, The Washington Post

The book is clearly the product of a man who not only has affection and understanding for young people, but also for cars and driving... Berardelli provides clear, well-considered advice, organized in a way that lets the author speak plainly with both parents and teens... Obviously, this is a man who has been there. Safe Young Drivers is a recommended resource for any parent; I'll use it in teaching my own teens. --Kevin Wilson, Executive Editor, AutoWeek

This is an invaluable book you absolutely must read before you allow your teenager behind the wheel of a car. --Dr. Laura Schlessinger
