State Farm Insurance is launching new educational tools for parents and teens so everyone can learn safer driving. The free tools are available for everyone, not just State Farm customers, through the website http://teendriving.statefarm.com/. Many parents dread the day that their child begins to learn how to drive. But according to experts, parents have the greatest influence on safe teen driving behavior.
However on a third of teens rate their parents as a “very good” driving instructor. Three in five parents admit to being nervous about teaching their child to drive. State Farm hopes the new online resource will help make it easier and more educational for everyone. “These online tools are the latest in State Farm’s $20 million commitment to reducing teen driving related crashes and deaths,” said Laurette Stiles, Vice President – Strategic Resources at State Farm. “It’s our privilege to make them accessible to everyone, at no charge, as part of our efforts to help teens drive more safely.”
On the website you can check out Road Trips. It’s an interactive, web-based tool so parents can build practice drives, log progress and communicate more effectively with their teen. Parents will receive tip sheets on important driving skills as well as three minute lessons on the best way to teach these skills. Another tool on the website is called Road Aware. Research shows that 43 percent of crashes caused by teens are due to the young driver’s inability to anticipate and adjust to hazards. This program will help them to locate the potential for danger or risk.
