Tips To Teach Young People to Drive Safely Safely

Author: Hollis Graves

When instructing young people to drive it is really important that you're fully prepared. The parent/teacher should also give encouragement and themselves be very comfortable with all safe driving procedures.

Before venturing out on the open road with the student make certain of a couple of things first. The first thing is you need to find out if you are old enough to teach somebody to drive. You must be over twenty-one years old. Have you had a driver's license for at least 3 years?Are learners insured to drive the car you will be using. Read through the latest Highway Code or even take an advanced driving course.

Is the learner driver ready to venture out onto the road? Do they have a provisional license. It is advisable that the learner has already had some basic lessons with a qualified driving instructor in a dual control car. They should also understand the first principles of driving. Always ensure you use a safe vehicle and get the learner to help you check the lights, brakes and tyres are functioning normally.

Have the training route planned out in advance. As it is a lot to take in for learners start with short routes. As the learner gains confidence venture out on longer trips. Also try and go out in different road conditions.Experience is needed of driving on a variety of road types - narrow to dual carriageway and in all weather conditions.

During driving practice, it is crucial to remain calm and give advice in a constructive manner. Give congratulations where it is deserved and avoid sarcasm. You should occasionally ask the learner to point out potential hazards. Make sure that the driver is reminded to use the indicators properly and look in the rear mirrors before carryout any manouveres. Good driving practices must be reinforced. In the event of a dangerous manouver pull over safely and discuss what occurred. At the end of the practice session discuss what occured in a positive manner.

If the driver is taught well the good driving habits they have learned will carry on over into the time when the drive on their own. Perhaps they can then pass the habits onto the next generation of drivers.

    I do not agree with advertising drinking, i do not approve of drinking & driving, there should be stricter penalties, for those people who actually do that, i smoke & am penalised for smoking in places, like resrurants etc, at the beginning of all this i said that if smoking was to be banned everywhere then so should drinking as that wreaks more lives each year, than smoking ever could do, i get very annoyed when i hear about all these people that get away with drinking & driving & to advertise it is much worse they do not think of all those famlies out there that have lost someone that they love to the affects of one person stupidity

    There’s all kinds of useful stats here
    http://www.madd.org/statistics/
    I’m not sure that you’ll find the number of infants but you will find stats on children.

    Is it right for the media to still advertise alcohol when thousands of people are killed by drunk drivers?
    Back in the early 70′s tobacco advertisments were banned from television apparently because they were considered a health hazard. I agree with this sentiment even though I smoke myself, however it has come to my attention that very few people have been killed in traffic accidents due to tobacco. I feel it is unfair to the public in general that alcohol is still advertised when thousands of people are killed in alcohol related accidents. I would like at least 100 views on this subject from all my fellow Y/A users. Thank you and God bless.

    on average, how many people are killed by drunk drivers every year?
    for a project.

  8. kathleenbernard04 says:

    According to NHTSA in 2006 17,602, and 2005 17,509. Look for the 2006 Annual Assessment Final Report.

  9. AshyBut says:

    What is the average number of infants killed in the United States by drunk drivers in 2009?
    I’m doing a speech for public speaking about why people should not drink and drive. I wanted the average number of deaths of people killed by drunk drivers for 2009. If anybody finds any websites that can give different age ranges and how many were killed in those age ranges by drunk drivers I would greatly appreciate it.
