Book Description
"'Can I borrow the car' How to partner with your teen for safe driving" is an e-book about how parents can influence teenagers to learn safe driving habits written by Susan Tordella, who taught all four teens how to drive automatic and stick shift vehicles. Susan is also the author of "Raising Able: How chores empower families" where she shares wisdom gleaned from a decade of leading parenting workshops and 25 years of raising four successful children by using Adlerian psychology. The book has two objectives: 1. To share suggestions on how parents can relate positively to their teens so that, 2. Teens will listen to them and follow the safe driving habits and keep them out of accidents. "Can I borrow the car?" gives specific safety habits your teen can use to avoid accidents that are useful and easy to learn, useful for adults and teenage drivers. Susan uses stories to show how to partner with your teen to insure they drive safely. Her true stories include three accidents caused by her teens and weren't fatal, give Susan credibility. Accidents happen. This short book, full of suggestions on how to relate to your teen positively and avoid alienating him or her, may prevent accidents, show your teenagers that you expect them to drive responsibly, and possibly prevent a fatal accident. Susan recommends the use of family meetings to set up a mutually respectful relationship for life with your teenager, which may influence him or her to follow the safe driving habits you will teach and model. Modeling the safe driving habits is more powerful than talking about them. Susan encourages parents to talk about teen accidents published in the media to promote awareness and prevent accidents. Readers will learn how to use encouragement - how to notice what you like to get more of it, instead of being critical, sarcastic or complaining. This short, to-the-point guide on how to encourage teens to learn safe driving habits teaches parents how to take a positive attitude and be a good role model to promote safe driving. Much is at stake with new drivers. The rate of accidents among teenage drivers newly licensed is higher than the rate of any other age group. At the end of the book is a one page Teen Safe Driving Contract, another tool to raise awareness and promote communication with teens that driving has life and death consequences.

Book Description
Most of the information available to parents of teen drivers acknowledges that driving is risky, and then advises parents that their obligation is to teach their teens how to operate a vehicle—but little more. Missing from most available resources are explanations of why teen driving is so dangerous, and specific, proactive steps that parents can take day-by-day, each time a teen driver gets behind the wheel, to counteract the situations that most often lead to crashes. Not So Fast fills this gap in the existing literature, providing advice to parents, guardians, and other adults who supervise teen drivers about the critical decisions that must be made before a teen drives. Not So Fast empowers and guides parents to: • Evaluate the circumstances of every driving trip • Be able to say “No” when necessary • Prepare a “flight plan” for each drive • Become an informed, proactive supervisor • Control distracted driving and texting • Put safety before convenience • Manage curfews, and much more Since losing his 17-year-old son Reid in a one-car crash in 2006, Tim Hollister has became a national authority and spokesperson for safer teen driving, serving on a Connecticut state task force to overhaul his state's teen driving laws; launching From Reid’s Dad, a national blog for parents of teen drivers; appearing as an expert commentator on regional TV and radio; and being awarded the US Department of Transportation Public Service Award, the nation’s highest civilian award for traffic safety. Sandy Spavone is the executive director of National Organizations for Youth Safety (NOYS), a coalition of national organizations that promote youth empowerment and leadership and build partnerships that save lives, prevent injuries, and enhance safe and healthy lifestyles among all youth.

Book Description
To teenagers, a driver's license is the equivalent of the Holy Grail. Driving is cool. Unfortunately, most driver education classes offered in high schools and commercial driving schools aren't thorough enough to teach teenagers what they need to know when they take the wheel of a two-ton vehicle. Most kids have only a few hours of actual road experience when they get their license. That inexperience can be lethal. Vehicle accidents are the leading cause of death and injury for 15- to 19-year-olds in the United States. Author Phil Berardelli believes parents have no choice but to teach their kids how to drive. He taught his own two daughters, and with his book "Safe Young Drivers: A Guide for Parents and Teens", he can help parents to teach their own kids. In "Safe Young Drivers", Berardelli takes parents and teens from the empty parking lot to the crowded highway with the use of skill-building exercises, instructive illustrations and common-sense advice. He provides 10 steps for helping students acquire basic driving skills. As they master each set of skills, they move to the next. Good attitude is as important as good skills, so Berardelli also offers five themes: Clear the way, learn the limits, share the road, think ahead, and feel the road. By adopting the attitude of a responsible driver, Berardelli says, students may actually compensate for the lack of driving skills and can avoid dangerous road situations altogether. Designed for parents who are willing to take the time to teach their teenagers to drive, "Safe Young Drivers" helps parents tailor driving lessons according to the ability and maturity levels of the teen. Some sections are addressed to parents, and othersto teens. Teaching kids to drive takes dedication and time, but Berardelli's book makes the task easier. It also can save lives!

Book Description
IF YOU DRIVE A VEHICLE, YOU NEED THIS BOOK! Here's the deal. We have a huge problem and it must be corrected immediately! From 2000 to 2018, we have had 768,828 people killed in United States in auto accidents (from National Safety Council's Accident Facts)! The past three years (2016""2018), we have had over 40,000 fatalities each year! These are the most in the past nine years, which tells me our training system is not working! This is UNACCEPTABLE! If you drive a vehicle, you need to go through this training! It will be one of the most important books you will ever read! How many of these people would have said they were good drivers? Yes, almost all of them! Fact: 25 percent of all fatal auto accidents are DUI accidents. The other 75 percent of the fatal accidents I classify as sober-related accidents! A problem this book will address in simple detail. Fact: The only way you would attend a driver safety course is by receiving a citation; you attend the class and say, "This was a great refresher. I'm glad I took it." This is not a refresher but a survival course! The solution to preventing these staggering statistics is retraining the 210 million drivers on the road with a fundamental, focus-concept training with accident situations. This training is intended to make you a proactive driver versus a reactive driver! Being reactive, most of the time, is too late! I have done much research and developed simple analogies, concepts, and accident-possibility situations that will change your mindset and driving behavior every time you get behind the wheel. Driving Institute of America (DIA) wants to make you a DIA-Certified Teen Driver versus just a teen driver! There is a huge difference! Your life is worth a whole lot more than the cost of this book! You will understand that every time you get behind the wheel, YOU ARE ENTERING THE MOST DANGEROUS PLACE IN THE WORLD""THE PUBLIC HIGHWAYS! Never forget this! 100 PERCENT FOCUS AND SAFE DRIVING! "You saved my life three different ways!" ""Dee D., Austin, TX "I've been a driver for over thirty years and this training taught me some life-saving skills!" ""Matt T., Leander, TX "I definitely think everyone who drives a vehicle absolutely needs this training!" ""Tom J., Cedar Park, TX "It definitely made our teen more responsible by completing all the certifications. It was an eye opener!" ""Shorouk N., Austin, TX "Thank you, this information has helped me so much and it made me more attentive to my own driving habits." ""Deni H., Austin, TX "Yes, I believe everyone who completes this training will be a much more knowledgeable and safer driver." ""Karen E., Spokane, WA
