Police Say When It Comes to Parents and New Teen Drivers, "Lead By Example"

A teen safe driving initiative in North America called the "I Promise Program" has recently released the results of its most recent survey on teen driving behavior. More than hundred police across the U.S. and Canada responded to the one question: If there was just one important message that you would like to deliver to parents of new teen drivers, what would it be? Overwhelmingly, the police response was to lead by example. "Parents have a direct responsibility to promote teen safe driving by demonstrating safe driving themselves."
