It is a crucial decision for the parent of every teenage motorist. When it is time for you to buy your child his first car, what are the factors that you will take into account before making a choice? Undoubtedly, your child will have his own preferences, which involve higher horsepower, high speed, and a sporty design. Those aren't necessarily the safest and most responsible choices for him.
Teenage drivers should drive a car that keeps them safe, and includes safety technology, but does not have a powerful engine. High-horsepower only encourages teenage motorists to drive at excessive speeds. Additionally, sports utility vehicles and pickup trucks are not necessarily good choices, because they have a much higher risk of being involved in rollover accidents. Even electronic stability control may not help. Certain types of risky driving could place the SUV or pickup truck at risk of a rollover, even if the vehicle is equipped with an electronic stability control device.
Experts recommend vehicles like the Mitsubishi Lancer GTS, Honda Fit, Volkswagen Rabbit Four-Door, Honda Civic and Ford Focus for teenage drivers. These are not just affordable, but have a high safety quotient.
As a parent, you are, no doubt, looking at cost, operating expenses, as well as reliability, but make safety the top priority. Car accidents are a major cause of fatality involving teenagers. That fact needs to be foremost in your mind when you're making a decision. Avoid sports cars - teenagers are much more likely to drive at excessive speeds in them, and these cars are also involved in a much higher rate of accidents when they are operated by teen drivers.
The car needs to be crashworthy. Look at the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s ratings for cars and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s rankings before you settle on a model.
