Hi there, Tracy. Good day to you there in Florida. That situation your friend is in is not a rare one, and it is actually one of the most common situations parents of new drivers face. Let me just share that auto insurance companies do monitor vehicle accident statistics.

Among young drivers, it is usually the males that get into more auto accidents. No wonder the auto insurance companies don’t really agree on giving cheap rates to young male drivers. However, as a responsible and prepared parent, you can still avoid falling into the same trap as others have done so in the past. You can prepare your child to join the rest of the driving population, and this means making him learn all the basics. This is actually important since auto insurance companies do value insuring those with clean driving records. If possible, check with your current auto insurance provider if they recognize defensive driving courses in your state. Some may even give a discount. You can also inquire about good student discounts and limited annual mileage programs that you can avail of for your son. Also, remember that your son is still learning the ways of the road, so when you give him a car, insist on safety. It doesn’t have to be the most expensive car on the lot to prove how valuable your son is.
