Parent-Teen Contract
Learning to drive can be both exciting and stressful for a teenager — and his or her parents. AAA has developed this parent-teen driving agreement (70KB)  to help families work together to safely navigate the learning process. The agreement helps establish rules and consequences for teens, but also places responsibilities on parents. Safe driving generally requires much more than what state laws call for, and signing an agreement before the teen starts driving can be helpful in establishing expectations for the whole family. By working as a team, parents and teens can accomplish their shared goal — a safe, successful teen driver.
Parent-Parent Contract
AAA encourages parents to work as a team to ensure teens gain driving experience in the safest environment possible during that first year. AAA also encourages parents to talk with one another about the driving rules in their respective homes and encourages them to develop some common rules. That way, teens who are friends have the same or similar rules, which helps remove some of the peer pressure to break parental-imposed rules. Families are joining forces by creating voluntary parent-to-parent agreement (85KB) between families that define acceptable driving behavior. Some high schools and community organizations also are encouraging these contracts to create a support system for parents and greater protection for teens.
