I agree Raymond. As a parent, I have to say I didn’t really think about driving safety for my daughter until I entered this field. I just expected her to be safe. Now – I’ve spoken to so many parents who expected their teens to be safe too but they were wrong and tragedies have changed their lives forever.
That’s why I want to help parents understand how important it is to be involved in their teen’s driver education. It is all about safety. The test itself stands for very little.
It’s very few parents that get involved in their childrens safety. As a driving instructor for over 32 years I have always been open for parents to sit in during their kids driving lessons. It help them to think about their driving more as they listen to correct driving procedures.
As I’ve said before all they are interested in is getting them through in a few lessons as possible regardless of the standard of their loved ones. I don’t know about anyone else, when my children were learning to drive I keen on getting them over prepared for their driving test.
Thanks Raymond. I believe some parents would be more involved if they realized they should be. A lot just don’t think about how dangerous driving is – and the great risk there is to new drivers.
Very commendable. We need things like this here in the UK. It’s very rare that parents get involved in their kids driving.
All their concerned with mostly is when can they take their drivers test in as few lessons as possible.
