Parents Driving Children to Bad Habits

It has recently been suggested that a parent with particularly bad habits when behind the wheel will be influencing their child to adopt the same habits when they themselves become drivers – even years before they ever get behind a wheel for the first time.

Mike Frisby, (CEO of the Driving Instructors Association) has made the claim that parents are unwittingly affecting their offspring’s motoring habits long before they ever take to driving themselves – which in turn stresses the importance of making sure that you clamp down on your own bad habits when driving, to help prevent a future generation of poor drivers.

The claims have been made after recent research has revealed that three-quarters of parents are ready to admit that they would fail their driving test if they were to take it again – yet still insist on teaching their young to drive.

Like anything in life, if you are going to learn to drive it is best to do it the right way – otherwise, you will just become better at being a bad driver.

Safe driving from Britannia!
