While it���s likely your Parents can employ various methods to help their teen son or daughter will not become more comfortable behind the wheel. be a great driver from the get-go, there are ways parents can make the process of teaching their teen to drive less stressful and more likely to be a success. ��� Utilize an empty parking lot as a classroom. Empty parking lots are great places to teach teens to drive. In an empty parking lot, teens can practice skills like turning or braking without the risk of running into another driver. This gives kids the feel of a vehicle and an opportunity to familiarize themselves with the vehicle���s controls, including those for turn signals and headlights. Find an empty parking lot that is large, such as one outside a closed grocery store or a nearby school when school is not in session. ��� Find a less-traveled road to practice more subtle driving skills. Once your teen has become familiar with the vehicle, a good next step is to ���nd a back road or a road without heavy traf���c where he or she can learn more subtle driving skills that might be dif���cult to learn in a parking lot. Coming to a stop, maintaining a safe distance between vehicles, accelerating and decelerating on roadways and learning to share the road with pedestrians and/or cyclists are all valuable lessons that can be learned on a back road without heavy traf���c. ��� Some lessons are best learned on the freeway. Some skills, including changing lanes and merging into traf���c, are best learned on the freeway or highway. Teens will eventually take to the highway once they get their driver���s license, so it���s best to teach them how to handle using on and off ramps and learning to yield when entering a highway so they���re comfortable with such driving and don���t have to teach themselves. ��� Teach kids to anticipate other drivers. Anticipating other drivers is a lesson even some veteran adult drivers must learn, much less teen drivers with little or no experience driving. When teaching teenagers to drive, emphasize how dif���cult it can be to anticipate other drivers��� maneuvers and how defensive driving techniques are designed to help drivers predict what other drivers will do in order to protect themselves from drivers who might be unpredictable. Teach teens to keep an eye out for drivers routinely switching lanes without signaling and tell them to be mindful of other drivers when they pull up to a stop sign. Teens who will become good drivers will eventually ���nd such techniques are second nature, but initially parents should instruct them in the ways to anticipate the behavior of other drivers so the teens can stay safe on the road. ��� Practice driving at different times of the day. Taking teens out to drive at different times of the day can teach them that road conditions, even when the weather is nice, vary depending on the amount of light. Driving at dusk and dawn, for instance, can be dif���cult because glare from the sun can decrease visibility and headlights might not provide much help. Like learning to drive on the highway, learning to drive at various times of the day is a valuable lesson that kids should learn with their parents in tow and not on their own after they have received their driver���s license.
