This tip was sent in by someone who didn't do this and ended up wrecking her car. So her second tip is not to tell your parents that you've wrecked the car while they are driving. If you are stuck in ice or snow, try putting your floor mats under the edge of the tires to give them traction. Never try to fit more people in the car than you have seatbelts for them to use . Obey the speed limits, Going too fast gives you less time to stop or react.
Excess speed is one of the main causes of teenage accidents.
Don't run red lights. Use turn signals to indicate your intention to turn or to change lanes. Turn it on to give the cars behind you enough time to react before you take the action. Also, make sure the signals turns off after you've completed the action. When light turns green, make sure intersection clears before you go.
