A large chunk of car accidents and collisions among teens are due to their lack of attention on the road. And the number one reason for this has been whittled down to these mobile devices called cellular phones. Whether it is a call or for sending a text message, it only takes a second to make a different for a driver to get into an accident.
Now, federal laws are tightening up, issuing a new law that will ban texting while driving. The ultimatum laid down is that should states fail to address this concern, concerned states stand to lose annual federal highway funding.
However, a Texas study demonstrates that certain teen drivers have fewer crashes via the use a certain product called Driver Ed in a Box. Parents who follow the Driver Ed in a Box program provide nine months to a year of extended supervised training to teach their teen to drive.
Driver Ed in a Box provides parents and teens with a complete, safety-oriented process for teaching the teen the techniques of collision-free driving.
