Im going to grade you next time were in the
car, Daddy. Any 6-year-old knows what
tailgating is, can tell you about those close
calls and watches how emotions affect their
parents. This is the perfect age to begin
training hard-to-reach teens, parents, and, yes -
even young children -about the effects of
speeding and aggressive driving. The Parent
Driver Report Card is a fun way to involve
youngsters in their in-car safety and show them
why road courtesy makes sense. Kids cant wait
to grade their parents and newly driving sibs.
