Flow with traffic.

Traffic speeds up, you speed up. Traffic slows down, you slow down.

Going too fast or too slow can disrupt the flow.

Pay attention and adjust with the traffic around you.

When should your teen start BTW lessons?

Around 10 hours of supervised driving is a good starting point for many new drivers.

Learn good habits early. Then reinforce them through practice.

Every drive counts.

School. Practice. Work. The grocery store.

Put them in the driver's seat.

Every trip is another opportunity to gain experience and build confidence.

Always have an escape plan.

Can you stop?

Can you move left?

Can you move right?

You can't control other drivers. Give yourself enough space to have options when something changes.

Let your teen make the decision.

Instead of always giving the answer, ask:

What do you see?

What do you think you should do?

Give them a chance to think and make safe decisions on their own.

Practice drives don't have to be complicated.

Pick a skill. Ask questions. Give your teen time to make decisions.

Most importantly, keep them driving.

Every drive builds experience and confidence.

Stop letting your teen be the passenger.

School? Practice? Running to the store?

Let them drive.

Everyday trips are opportunities to build experience, confidence, and safe driving habits.

SMOG = Signal. Mirrors. Over the Shoulder. Go.

Anytime you move the vehicle left or right, you need to SMOG.

But don't just go mirror, mirror, shoulder.

Take your time. See what's there. Process what you see.

Yellow light? 🚦

Reasonable stop = Stop.
Abrupt stop = Go.

Remember, a reasonable stop in July may be different from one in January.

And don't speed up. If you had time to speed up, you probably had time to stop.

Keep them driving. 🚗

School. Practice. Work. Appointments. Running to the store.

Everyday trips give new drivers another opportunity to build experience and confidence.

Don't try to improve everything at once.

Focus on one skill.

Small improvements become lifelong driving habits.

Learning continues between driving lessons.

The ReadySetDrive! Student Portal includes videos, PDFs, checklists, and driving tips that help students build safe habits and confidence every time they practice.

One of the most important driving habits has nothing to do with the steering wheel—it's where you look.

Looking farther ahead helps drivers make better decisions.
