The leading causes of death in young adults and kids ages <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nhtsa.gov\/About+NHTSA\/Press+Releases\/2015\/nhtsa-5-to-drive-campaign-2015\">15 through 20<\/a> are motor vehicle crashes, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).<\/p>\n<p>But, the NHTSA also says that despite these statistics, only <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nhtsa.gov\/About+NHTSA\/Press+Releases\/2015\/nhtsa-5-to-drive-campaign-2015\">25 percent<\/a> of parents actually sit down and talk with their teens about what it takes to drive safely. Below are five rules that parents can instill in their teen before they begin driving.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stay Away from Alcohol<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When it comes to teenage driving, there is no legal limit for alcohol consumption. If your teen is under 21 years old, it is illegal for them to consume any amount of alcohol. However, the NHTSA states that even though this law is put in place, there are still deaths that involve teen drivers in motor vehicle crashes wholes blood-alcohol content is .01 or more.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>Must Wear Seat Belts<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Let your teen driver know that using their seat belts is not an option and is non-negotiable. It will protect them during a crash. You should buckle up yourself to set a good example.<\/p>\n<p><strong>No Speeding<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Although teens like to push the limits, doing it while they are driving is not a good idea. When they speed, they are not just risking getting a ticket; they are also risking their lives since it can result in a deadly accident.<\/p>\n<p><strong>No Texting or Calls<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It doesn&#8217;t matter who you are, talking on the phone or texting while you are driving is dangerous. This is especially true with teens since they don&#8217;t have as much experience driving as you do and when they become distracted while they are driving, it adds more risk. While distracted, any driver has slower reaction times.\u00a0 Also, if your teen is reading or sending texts, this takes their eyes off the road.<\/p>\n<p><strong>One Passenger at a Time<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In some cases, depending on your state, the license guidelines for your teen driver might even be zero passengers. The more passengers your teen has in the car with them, the more risk of them having a fatal crash, says the NHTSA.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Using GPS Tracking<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Since vehicle crashes are the leading cause of teen deaths, parents who are concerned and worried can\u00a0 now track their teen&#8217;s driving through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.liveviewgps.com\/gps+teen+tracking.html\">GPS teen tracking<\/a>. You can check things like the speed they are driving, their braking and acceleration, or where they are located. All that is needed to track your teen&#8217;s driving is a small GPS tracking device that you plug into the diagnostic port of the car (located under the dashboard on the left side, typically).<\/p>\n<p>You can instill good driving habits in your teen. You can also let them know that if they choose not to drive safely, you will take their keys away and revoke their driving privileges. Driving safety should be a regular conversation in your home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Driving for the first time is a very exciting time in the lives of teens; however, it can also be very dangerous.
