Friday, April 9th, 2010

Encompass Car Insurance has a great online resource for those customers with teenagers on their policies.  With teen drivers having an alarming high rate of fatal accidents it’s no wonder they are treated differently.  Just because your teen has been allowed to carry a driver’s license, it does not mean they are as safe as an experienced driver.

There are many things you can do to help prepare yourself and your teen for the challenging road ahead.  You will most likely see your auto insurance rates increase in addition to your anxiety of sending your inexperienced driver out on the road.  Encompass has gathered a  convenient resource on their website to better prepare yourself.

  • Some of the topics covered include:
  • Teenagers and safe cars
  • Tips on helping teens drive better
  • Setting guidelines for your teen
  • Understanding graduated licensing
  • Developing a Parent-Teen contract

When you create boundaries and allow for more time behind the wheel your teen will be better prepared for challenging driving situations and hopefully save lives.
