| Summary |
Most driving literature for parents focuses on how to teach a teen to drive without explaining why teen driving is so dangerous in the first place or giving parents a plan to preempt the hazards teens face. By contrast, No tan rápido empowers and guides parents to understand the causes and situations that most often lead to teen crashes and to take specific, proactive steps—before and each time a teen driver gets behind the wheel—to counteract them. This authoritative guide tackles hot button issues such as texting and distracted driving, parenting attitudes (conscious and unconscious), and teen impairment and fatigue—and includes a combination of topics not found in other teen driving guides, such as how brain development affects driving, why driver’s ed is essential but does not guarantee safe driving, how and why to prepare a “flight plan” for each drive before handing over the keys, and how and when to say no. Proceeds from the sale of this book support the Reid Samuel Hollister Memorial Fund, set up in honor of author Tim Hollister’s son, who was killed in an automobile crash in 2006, and which subsidizes infant and toddler education in greater Hartford, Connecticut, and other worthy traffic safety causes. |
