It’s very exciting when a teen gets his driver’s license for the first time. From wanting to visit friends and driving back and forth to school each day, many teens form a new way of living once they are given the freedom to drive on their own. Many of them also prefer to listen to their music really loud when driving. And while music is a great way to pass the time when driving, it can also be a distraction when it’s turned up too loud.
Teens should do their best to keep music in the car to a level in which they can still hear police sirens. After all, when a police car or fire truck comes up behind them, they need to be aware so they can pull over. If their music is too loud, though, they will be breaking the law by not getting out the way.
Teens should also keep their music to a minimal noise level when they have other passengers in the car. It’s a well-known fact that having too many passengers can be very distracting, and when music is added into the mixture, this greatly increases your teen’s chances of being in a car wreck.
As a parent, it’s your responsibility to make sure your teen is aware of the fact that music can be distracting. Because of this, you should never set a poor example and drive around with your music too loud. By setting a good example, your teen is much more likely to be a safe driver.
