SAFETY is Numero Uno! I’m concerned about my kid’s constant distraction with getting social on their ‘smart’ gadgets. I wish they can be SMART about their safety instead!

Hopefully they will listen and take on board everything you teach them, safety first.

Setting a good example, always remember they are watching you at all times, good habits last a lifetime.

That when driving you need to concentrate, to treat other road users as if you were meeting them in person and treat them like you would like to be treated. To always travel at the correct speed and always use your indicators correctly and to know the road rules.

What they get up to when they’re not there to supervise after they get their licence

Some kids aren’t open to the fact they are basically apprentices, and even though they are “on the job” there is still a lot to learn. Not accepting this causes a false sense of security and is alarming to parents!

Inattention on the road definitely, kids are constantly looking around and doing things checking their reflection in the mirror lol

As a parent, you are close to your children. In some cases too close and you may be critical of their driving, causing tension and making it difficult for them to concentrate. You also may unwittingly pass on your bad driving habits. Best to get a professional.

There safety and how they will react when there with there fellow peers

Trying to teach kids to avoid being distracted with anything that’s happening outside the vehicle. It’s very easy for them to become distracted by interesting things outside, so it’s quite difficult for them to be totally focused on driving all of the time.

There safety and how they will react when there’s others in the car with them eg fellow peers

Just two words – “Other Drivers” . When other drivers tailgate and hassle a learner driver it terrifies me what they will do with a P Plater who they will consider experienced.

my biggest concern is that there are a lot of inpatient people out there that do not have any respect for learner drivers when they are very nervous to begin with

The fear of crashing.

They speed past, they overtake on double lines, they beep when you stick to the speed limit, they tailgate, they throw their arms up, I have the chance to teach my children, but no chance at the bad drivers around

PERSONAL SAFETY would be my biggest concern, both for myself and my child. An inexperienced driver usually a teen who doesnt listen at the best of times thats in control of an oversized bullet. Its really fun not….

Their lack of concentration on things,
Rather than the cost of dings.
Will they quit their phone?
It’s hard not to just moan.

Being able to drive is one thing, being able to watch and anticipate other drivers decision could save a life or avoid accidents. Building confidence in your children will allow them to take driving to the next level. Scanning the roads is the bestest tool that is no longer taught.

that they will get behind the wheel and start to ask cocky and show off to friends and do stupid things and get hurt killed or kill others

Their safety, our safety, everyone’s safety!
