A Good Health Dose of Reality Before Your Teen Gets Behind the Wheel

There is an excellent reason why most Driver's Education Courses start by showing accident videos and photos, to scare your child into being a safer driver. Teenagers are notorious for believing that things will never happen to them. Being faced with pictures of other teenagers who have died or been injuried in an automobile accident, although somewhat gruesome, may go a long way in altering this belief.

Whether they saw pictures and videos in a class or not, I encourage you to talk with your teenager about the dangers of driving and view accident photos on the internet with them. This information may just pop into their head when they are driving without you and are considering engaging in some dangerous action in order to impress their friends or give in to peer pressure.
