Kentucky teenagers are experts at everything.
Just ask them.
But statistics don't lie.
Teens are the most likely drivers to have an accident.
Teenagers are three times as likely to get in an accident. Sobering isn't it? But when you're learning something new you make mistakes. Unfortunately, mistakes in a car are dramatic and dangerous. You probably remember being a teen yourself. Maybe that's why you're worried. Teens tend to take risks without thinking about potential outcomes. They're also very influenced by peer pressure. And even thought they think they're smarter than most adults, most have a lot of maturing to do.
You are responsible for your teen's driving. Remember, when you add a teen driver to your Kentucky auto insurance policy you are assuming responsibility for their actions. Notify you Kentucky insurance agent six months prior to your teen getting a license and talk about the types of Kentucky car insurance coverages you will need. Ask about discounts, like Safeco's Good Student Discount. You may also want to consider adding an umbrella policy for additional liability coverage.
A little advice to help you through it. Practice, practice, practice. The more hours logged behind the wheel, the better your teen driver will be. And...talk with your teen about the responsibilities of driving including your household rules for the privilege of getting behind the wheel.
