Parents - Would you want your child to survive one million miles of accident-free driving, like the author? If so - have them read, and quiz them on, the concepts taught in this book. A common-sense driving book for teenagers, which recognizes and addresses the difference between the teen brain and that of an adult.Parents, investing in this book for your teen will teach them how to survive while learning to drive rather than becoming another teenage statistic. It won't teach them how to parallel park, make a three-point turn or how to pass a written test. They can easily learn these skills elsewhere. This book will provide the tools for your teen to recognize and avoid hazardous situations and unsafe drivers. It will show them how to train their inexperienced, teenage brains to make safe, split-second decisions when life-threatening events occur. In this book I have shared the knowledge gained over many years of driving, to help keep your teen alive while driving. Now help them to understand and apply this knowledge. Don't just give them this book. Make sure they read it. Quiz them on it, especially the chapter on Defensive Driving.Reviews by Law Enforcement ProfessionalsInvestigating traffic accidents - especially those resulting in death or serious physical injury - is one of the most difficult jobs facing a police officer. When those accidents involve young or inexperienced drivers, the task is especially agonizing. With an emphasis upon driver safety, this very comprehensive book is an excellent resource for teenagers and parents alike, and I highly recommend it Daniel Carlson - Captain, Assistant Director of Training, New York State Police, Ret.Rich, thanks for letting me review your book.

I am confident you will make better, more thoughtful drivers with your insights.

Excellent job Lars Jarvie - Chief of Police, City of Mesa, Arizona, Ret.Richard Kasper has developed a common-sense guide for those who don't always use a great deal of common sense.

Having raised five children and worked with youth in Boy Scouts and church activities, I can attest that, while they are wonderful people, teenagers act like teenagers.
