🚗 WISDOM WEDNESDAY: Parents of teen drivers, save this one!
Handing over the keys is a big moment. Making sure your young driver knows what to do when the unexpected happens? That’s just as important. 👏
Before your teen hits the road solo, make sure they know:
📱 Which number to call for non-injury accidents: Save the non-emergency number for their local police department. OKC, Edmond, Moore, Norman, and other metro communities have different numbers and procedures.
🚨 When to call 911: If anyone is injured or there’s an immediate emergency, call 911.
📄 What to keep handy: Driver’s license, vehicle registration, and proof of insurance.
🔦 How to stay safe: Know how to turn on hazard lights and what to do if the car breaks down or a crash happens.
📸 What to do after a fender bender: Put safety first, follow local reporting instructions, contact your parents and document the scene only when it’s safe.
A little preparation now can make a stressful situation easier to navigate later.
👇 PARENTS: What’s one thing you made sure your teen knew before they started driving alone or WISH your teen had known before driving? Share it below — another family might need the reminder!
📌 Save this checklist and send it to a young driver you care about.
