- Title
To What Extent are Rural Parents Willing to be Involved in Driver Education?
- Authors
Hartos, Jessica; Huff, David C.
- Abstract
The article presents information on parents' involvement in safe driving education of their teenage children in the rural areas of the U.S. Most efforts in this regard focus on how to teach teenagers to drive or awareness of teenage drinking and driving. Parents' role as gatekeepers is not satisfactory, despite national support for increased parental involvement. Western rural states have teenage crash rates higher than the national average because of the greater percentage of miles traveled. Programmed efforts directed towards parental management of teenage driving could be integrated into education of drivers to increase parental involvement in young driver safety. This would include determining the conditions under which teenagers can drive, and when and where they should drive.
