Tips for parents with teen drivers
Spring....On The Road
MS –Few parents look forward to
the day when they must teach their
teenager to drive a car. Handing over
the keys to a teenager and then
riding shotgun as he or she learns the
basics is hardly a recipe for a stress-
free afternoon, but it’s a part of life
many parents must endure sooner or
later, and it’s a rite of passage for
their children.
While it’s likely your son or
daughter will not 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
practise 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-travelled road to
practise more subtle driving skills.
Once your teen has become familiar
with the vehicle, a good next step is
to find a back road or a road without
heavy traffic where he or she can
learn more subtle driving skills that
might be difficult to learn in a
parking lot. Coming to a stop,

Utilize empty space
When starting to teach your teen how to drive, empty parking lots and quiet country roads
make for great classrooms. (MS photo)
