Teenage safety

When you are about to buy a car for a teenager you must look for those cars who has advanced safety features like electronic stability control and airbags and pick a car that has good crash-test results.

Car safety measures

For a teen car safety the driver must also be ready to start driving. An advanced driving course can prove very useful for the young teenager.
