This book is for parents with teens that will soon be drivers. As seasoned drivers, we sometimes forget to point out some of the issues that our teens will face behind the wheel. Some seemingly common sense precautions have become so automatic to us that we don't notice we are doing them. It has been scientifically proven that the brain's frontal lobe, or cerebral cortex, does not mature until about the age of 25. This is the area of the brain that controls logic-problem solving and possible consequences-or what most of us consider as common sense. Hence, what we see as logical, the teen does not. I have attempted to present these points with humor and snippets of experiences with my teens, but the most important aspect of this book is to make your teen aware that driving is indeed an art, and hopefully one that they will strive to perform with the utmost skill. There is a Driver's Quiz at the end. I hope that these thoughts and questions will prove challenging to your teen and will entice you, the parent, to share your thoughts and experiences as well.
