I Am A Teen
You're In the Driver's Seat
Getting your driver’s license is one of the most important and exciting steps you’ll ever take. It’s not as simple as arriving at the DMV, parallel parking, and getting your picture taken. A lot of hard work goes into earning that valued piece of plastic. Even after you have your license, it takes more practice with a parent (or other trusted adult)--as well as lots of time behind the wheel--to become an experienced driver.
Don’t worry. You can do it. We’ll show you how with the information you need to team up with your parents, friends, and school to learn how to drive, understand driving laws and restrictions in your state, reduce crash risk, and much, much more.
