“I think it will help a little,” said 17-year-old Jahnae Richardson. The RoadReady mobile app is a timer that tracks supervised drives and then compiles them into a driving log that is submitted to the DMV before a teen driver takes the final driving test to obtain a drivers license. It consists of a 52-page instructional booklet for parents and an app, RoadReady, that logs the driving time that most states require teens to complete before receiving a drivers license. The program was developed by Safe Roads Alliance, a nonprofit group dedicated to promoting safe driving. We hope this new resource will help parents and teens make the most of this time together.” “Research tells us the single most important thing parents can do to help their teens stay safe on the road is to provide as much supervised practice behind the wheel as possible. “Getting a driver’s license is a special moment in a teen’s life, but it often causes increased anxiety for parents,” said Ed Gold, State Farm advertising director. On Monday, Nevada became the 21st state to use the program.Ī 2012 study by State Farm and the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia found that teen drivers whose parents are heavily involved in teaching them to drive are half as likely to get in a crash and 71 percent less likely to drive while intoxicated.
The Parent’s Supervised Driving Program has been “a huge success” where it already has been implemented in 20 other states, according to DMV spokesman Kevin Malone. The Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles is partnering with State Farm Insurance to help parents supervise their teen drivers and prepare them for a lifetime of safe driving.
