This video is one of the most viewed on YouTube about teenage drivers. It's inexperience. They don't anticipate what other drivers may do.
"Two accidents within a nine hour period." That person was overconfident in their abilities.
If you have teenagers, be sure you have them watch this video about teenagers who drive.
Parents, too, if you have kids who will be driving or are already driving, be sure to have a look at this video.
So many crashes involve their attitudes, not their skills, they say. Find out what they mean by listening while watching.
I hope you know you're not invincible.
God loves teens, too. If he was giving Ten Commandments for Teenage Drivers, here's what he'd include:
1. Don't race.
2. Stay off the phone while on the road.
3. Don't drive unless you need to after 9pm.
4. Drive alone if possible (safer).
5. Follow the rules of your parents, as well as the law.
6. Remember that driving is a not a right, but can be earned.
7. Keep your attitude in check, out of the vehicle.
8. Don't drive distracted.
9. Don't get in the car if you're not sure of the driver is safe.
10. Eliminate recreational driving.

Here are a few ideas about how to make money, and enjoy your summer.
- Cranberry Juice stand (instead of lemonade)
- Bake Sale (stand in front of your local grocery store)
- Odd jobs. Make a list of 20 things you can do and post it around the neighborhood. Someone will find it and hire you. You'll see.
- Walk the dog, cat, or fish. As people are planning their vacations, you can approach them with an offer to take care of their pets, at their house.

Special Age, Special Teen Needs
So I've got my hands full with young adults. Special treatment is in store for these special growing up-sters.
They are adolescents, aged 13 to 19, born between 1993 and 1999.
The oldest teens were four years old when the first Harry Potter book came out. Many teens have only gotten music through Web downloads.
Things have changed.
Nearly one in five teenagers is obese, more than triple the rate from 1980, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. High blood pressure and cholesterol, now affect young people, including teens. Diseases and mental health issues are of concern, too. 80% of teen deaths are related to behavioral issues such as alcohol and drug use that results in injury and accidents, says a specialist at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
So what are you doing with your teen this summer?
You may want to consider registering them for a summer enrichment experience. What's that? In four letters, "CAMP" but not just any old camp, it's SuperCamp.
They can't guarantee your teenager will be free from mental or physical ailments, but they can unlock your child's potential for learning and personal growth. They've done it more than 50,000 times, so we know what we're doing.
Your teenager (ages 11-18 accepted) entering grades 6-12 will have a summer to remember making friends they never imagined exist for them.
My teenagers will be attending Stanford University, Palo Alto, CA from August 5-14. There are six other Senior Forum schools to choose from across the USA. And there are also seven colleges that have a Junior Forum for 6th-8th graders.
Let's face it, teenagers are full of potential. How will you best guide that potential?
As a mother, I'll want my kids to have opportunities to grow and develop. I believe that SuperCamp will allow them the freedow and the environment in which they can thrive. What do you want for your teenager?
