Doug Horn, a teen driver safety advocate and motor-vehicle crash lawyer, has made it his mission to educate parents on how to educate their teens about safe driving.

His Teen Driver Protection Guide promotes the A-B-C-D’s of driver safety, as he explains here.

“As parents, we need to make safe driving a household priority and so we start early with our kids as passengers, training them to be alert, buckled, cautious and defensive. You know, it’s not just a matter of training them to be good drivers, we want them to be good passengers especially when they are in the vehicle of somebody else. They need to demand that also of their driver.”

Horn says modelling good driving behaviour and explaining various driving scenarios as they happen will help provide context for what their teens may experience as drivers.
