Teens want to drive....Parents want them to understand the rules....
Tim Stevens, a pastor in Northern Indiana, has created a rather lengthy driving agreement for his oldest child.
Tim's words: "I realized it's not about trust--it's about experience. Heather is a great driver, but she will make mistakes in the learning process (as we all do). It's our job to do everything we can to help minimize the possible damage from those mistakes. Tragedies happen and we can't ensure her safety, but we can do much to prepare her and decrease the chances that she is the cause of a tragedy....So we pulled ideas from a bunch of websites and wrote up a Parent/Teen Driving Contract. It outlines graduated freedoms based on experience, and lets her know that we are here to support her as she gets used to being on the road alone."
