Focus on Variety
Learning a new skill takes time and practice across lots of different situations. Getting a lot of variety helps young drivers learn:
- Situational awareness in different conditions
- To expect the unexpected
- How to respond to emergency situations
- How to safely drive at night and in different weather conditions
- How to handle construction zones and other tricky scenarios
Driving to and from the same places like to school, sports, and church gives your teen good practice with the basics, but getting more variety is important to help your teen develop the range of skills they need to be a safe driver.
Our Driving Skills Tracking Tool can help guide you through the variety of practice to focus on.
