(Contd. from page 3...)
Buy Their Car
If you can afford it, buy the car. This might seem extreme to some parents, especially those that learned the value of saving for their own first vehicle purchase but it can help to keep your child safe. It is a fact that modern automobiles incorporate safety features that do not exist in older models. By buying their car, you are able to choose a model that is safe and sensible. Often, teenagers driving vehicles that are too powerful for them to control are the cause of many driving accidents.
Talk to Your Mechanic
If all else fails, talk to your mechanic. There is a wide range of modifications that your mechanic can make to restrict the performance of a vehicle. If your teen driver is frequently speeding, you might want to install a speed governor or monitoring device. Your mechanic can advise you of what is best for your situation.
