Crashproof Your Kids: Make Your Teen a Safer, Smarter Driver

BEFORE YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT HANDING YOUR TEENS THE CAR KEYS, DO EVERYONE A BIG FAVOR: CRASHPROOF THEM! Every year, six million sons and daughters will become first-time drivers. Fifty-eight percent of them will be involved in a car accident within a year of getting their license, and a significant portion of these crashes will be fatal. But here's the good news: research has shown that car crashes can be reduced by up to 30 percent when you, the parent, are actively involved in your teen's instruction and set certain limits. In Crashproof Your Kids, certified driving instructor and dad Timothy Smith has combined the collective wisdom of numerous experts to develop the Crashproof Plan: a series of behind-the-wheel exercises designed to improve your teen's driving awareness, behavior, and skill in a way that fits your schedule. Written in a highly accessible, informal, and often humorous style, this comprehensive plan begins where drivers' education programs end, and includes: . A step-by-step plan to develop your teen's braking, car control, and defensive driving skills . How to handle road emergencies and basic car maintenance . Tips on helping your teen deal with dangerous distractions, including peer pressure and the use of alcohol and drugs . The Crashproof Contract, which outlines the expectations, responsibilities, and rules of the road for both the teen and the parent You'll get plenty of help on how to communicate vital driving concepts to your teen, and you'll laugh, learn, and sympathize with stories from parents who have already been there. Crashproof Your Kids is an essential resource for any parents wanting to help their teenagers successfully navigate the single most dangerous activity they'll ever undertake.

Louis Pasteur

Here's what happens in less than a second when a car traveling 55 mph hits a stationary object:

• 0.1 second: The front bumper and grille of the car collapse. If the car has an air bag, it has already inflated.

• 0.2 second: The hood crumples, rises, and strikes the windshield as the rear wheels lift off the ground. The fender wraps around the struck object.

• 0.3 second: The driver's legs jam under the dashboard and break, while the steering wheel heads for the driver's chest.

• 0.4 second: The car's wrecked front end comes to a stop, but the car's rear is still rushing forward, and the driver's body is still traveling at 55 mph.

• 0.5 second: If the car is not equipped with an air bag, the driver is smashed against the steering wheel, crushing arteries and lungs.

• 0.6 second: The driver's feet are rip ... read full excerpt from Crashproof Your Kids: Make Your Teen a Safer, Smarter Driver ebook
