Toyota Teen Driver Resources
If you have a teen driver in your household, you may find the parent resources on the Toyota web site very useful in starting your discussions about texting or talking on the phone and driving...
Texting is great for conveying quick messages and thoughts, but two new studies have found that face-to-face interaction is still the best way to express emotional support and to help preteens and teens learn to read body language and other unspoken cues in communication. As one of the researchers put it "There's nothing wrong with using technology, but all things should be put in balance: Keep the technology in balance with the rest of your life, the other things you do." Good advice for any age.
