3 Reasons To Let Your Teen Have Their Own Car
Let's be honest - watching your teen drive off on his own for the first time can be more than a little nerve-wracking. Nevertheless, driving is a crucial skill for all young adults and encouraging your teen to drive is an important part of parenting. Of course, getting their license is only half the battle - after they're licensed, teens must have access to a vehicle. This week, the team at Hulett Chevrolet-Buick-GMC is here to offer a few reasons why we believe teens should have access to their own vehicles.
1. Consistency And Safety
Any experienced driver can tell you that every car drives a little bit differently. Each car responds to the gas and break pedals with a different level of sensitivity, and every vehicle has a different shape (which makes parking unfamiliar vehicles challenging). If your teen doesn't have their own car, they will probably be bouncing back and forth between your and your spouse's car, which can be both confusing and dangerous. If your teen has her own vehicle, she will be able to focus all of her attention on the road, rather than trying to learn the car as she drives.
2. Ownership and Responsibility
While we like to think that we can trust others to handle our things with the same respect and responsibility that they would handle their own belongings, this isn't always the case. If your teen has his own vehicle, he is more likely to drive carefully and responsibility - especially if you make it clear that he will (either fully or partially) be responsible for the vehicle's maintenance and any necessary repairs. If your teen understands that his freedom is dependent on his vehicle, he may have a great incentive to properly care for the vehicle.
3. Freedom
The biggest thing a car offers your teen is freedom. When she has access to her own vehicle, she can drive herself to school, extra-curricular activities, work, and other various events. Your teen will likely be very grateful for this sense of freedom - and you'll probably find that you appreciate it, too. When your teen has her own car, you don't have to use your own valuable time driving her to her various engagements. You can even use her freedom to your advantage; ask her to run by the grocery store for you on her way home to save you the extra trip!
