The new law provides for an additional 30 hours of driving practice with a parent or licensed adult over 21 and a nighttime driving restriction for teenage drivers. Because motor vehicle crashes are the number one cause of death and injury to teenagers, AAA Utah urges parents to make the most of each practice session so their teenagers develop good driving habits. Graduated driver licensing provides the. best way to save the lives of young drivers. Driving is a complex and demanding task for the best of drivers. A safe driver must control a vehicle, comply with traffic laws, monitor traffic conditions, observe behavior of other drivers, watch for children, pedestrians, animals and cyclists. These are just the routine requirements. Increased speed, heavy traffic, road construction, emergencies and bad weather place greater demands on drivers. Parents are encouraged to think of all the driving skills they use and incorporate them into the practice sessions with their teenage sons and daughters. Driving skills to include in practice sessions should include: Developing basic vehicle control-- moving, ping. turning and stop- tersections. Positioning and timing when following and meeting other vehicles. Driving on a freeway. Driving at night. e road.
