“A concise, practical and potentially life-saving book that should be required reading for every parent before their teen gets behind the wheel.”
Publishers Weekly, 7/15/13
Car crashes are the leading cause of death and injury to teens. Promoting safer teen driving depends on teaching driving skills, adopting and enforcing teen driving laws, and parent oversight. Most of the literature available to parents has focused on driving skills, but now a father whose 17-year-old son Reid died in a crash has written a book that focuses exclusively and in depth on the parenting piece, what parents can do day-by-day, before their teens get behind the wheel, to prevent the most dangerous situations from happening.
Not So Fast: Parenting Your Teen Through the Dangers of Driving, by Tim Hollister of Hartford, Connecticut, was published in September 2013 by the Chicago Review Press. Publishers Weekly has called the book “A concise, practical and potentially life-saving book that should be required reading for every parent before their teen gets behind the wheel.” The book is available nationwide at bookstores and online, and its website is www.nsfteendriving.com. Proceeds from the book will support several national traffic safety programs and the Reid Samuel Hollister Memorial Fund, which helps low-income families in the Hartford area with day care costs for infants and toddlers.
