When I purchased a car for my son I knew how important it was to have his car insured. For someone of his young age, the last thing he could afford was having to repair his car in case of an accident. My only problem was not having enough time to chase around insurance quotes. Not many people, certainly not I, has enough money to just throw around so it was important to get the right car insurance rate.
As important as car insurance is, it’s not as important as teaching our kids how to handle themselves safely on our roads. Take trucks for example, they need to know so many things about how to share the roads with these large vehicles. They should know that trucks need so much more stopping distance and so shouldn’t cut in front of them. Another dangerous habit for many drivers is sitting right behind them where they can’t be seen or driving in a truckies’ blind spot.
Fortunately the GEICO teen safe driving Web site which is located at www.geico.com/auto/safety has the information not just for teens but for all drivers. I would suggest we study this site with our kids so that we may all learn how to share our highways with all vehicles.
