Parental Roles:

Teens welcome parental input and say their parents are their number one influencer when it comes to driving (The Allstate Foundation, 2015). The latest research from Safe Kids Worldwide confirms that parents who demonstrate good behavior (e.g., do not drink and drive, buckle up every trip) positively impact their teens’ driving habits (McKay et al., 2016). But what about older teens? Contrary to what some parents may think, they still wield influence over their 18-, 19- or 20-year-old. Reminding parents of that fact and giving them the tools to help them use it can pay dividends.
