Chicago Review Press Not So Fast: Parenting Your Teen Through the
Book SynopsisMost driving literature for parents focuses on how to teach a teen to drive, without explaining why teen driving is so dangerous in the first place or giving parents a plan to preempt hazards. Providing fully updated and expanded advice, this second edition of Not So Fast empowers and guides parents, guardians, and other adults who supervise teen drivers. Coauthors Tim Hollister, a father who lost his teenage son in a crash, and Pam Shadel Fischer, a nationally known traffic safety expert who is also a mother of a teen driver, prove that supervision before driving is as important to lowering crash rates as teaching teens how to turn at a busy intersection. This authoritative guide tackles hot-button issues such as texting and distracted driving, parenting attitudes (conscious and unconscious), and teen impairment and fatigue—and includes a combination of topics not found in other teen driving guides, such as how brain development affects driving, evaluating the circumstances of every driving trip, and the limits of driver training programs. Current research and statistics and additions dealing with hands-free devices and drowsy driving make this new edition a valuable resource for anyone concerned about teen drivers. Proceeds from the sale of this book support the Reid Hollister Memorial Fund, which subsidizes infant and toddler education in greater Hartford, Connecticut, and worthy traffic safety causes. Trade Review"This concise, practical, and potentially life-saving book should be required reading for every parent before their teen gets behind the wheel." Publishers Weekly"Safe teen driving involves a dedicated partnership between parents and their teens. Not So Fast is a vital resource for any family that seeks to be safe on the road by working together."Jim Graham, manager, Ford Driving Skills for Life" Not So Fast is a public service to parents of teen drivers and the cause of traffic safety."Norman Mineta, former Secretary of US Department of Transportation"I strongly recommend Not So Fast as evidence-based, sensible advice to parents seeking to make informed decisions as their teens become drivers."
