Home Study Driving Course Helps Parents and Teens Enjoy This New Rite of Passage

While teenagers look forward to getting their driver’s licenses, their parents often face this juncture of their children’s lives with fear and trepidation. Car accidents are a leading cause of severe injuries and death among teenagers all across the U.S.. Local insurance agent Mike Stromsoe, owner of Stromsoe Insurance Agency, has been committed to changing that trend in the Southern California area since his teenage son’s best friend died in a car accident. Stromsoe has dedicated his resources for helping families prevent similar tragedy. His website, www.teendriverinsurance.com/stromsoe contains many useful tools to help parents keep their kids safe. He also writes a free monthly e-zine, “Driver’s Seat,” for which people subscribe through the website. Recently retired, Police Officer and Accident Investigator James Poer contributes to the newsletter.

Stromsoe is also a charter member of the Society of Family Insurance Specialists which is a national organization of insurance agents that are committed to helping families protect themselves through education and insurance protection.

The Society recently released the Safe Teen Driver Guide that was co-authored by Stromsoe, Officer Poer, David Evans, a certified driving instructor and other members of the Society. “One of the most common reasons why teenagers get into so many accidents is that they just don’t have enough experience behind the wheel.” Explains Stromsoe. Driver education experts recommend at least 100 hours behind the wheel before driving unsupervised.

“Parents need to take the responsibility to provide their teens with more driving experience.” Said Officer Poer. “This new home study Safe Teen Driver Guide gives parents a tool that can help their teen experience the most common driving skills while being supervised.”

The Safe Teen Driver Guide provides a step by step outline of driving skills and practice exercises that parents can use to teach their teen to drive. “This time in a child’s life is exciting and should be enjoyed by the entire family.” Says Stromsoe. “By using this guide, parents can spend time with their child and make this experience most enjoyable. Plus, it gives parents peace of mind knowing that their child is a safer driver.”
