What would you say to 16 year olds if you had the chance to sit them
down (at their parents request) and talk to them about driving
skills (survival)?
I have that opportunity as I ask all my clients to bring in their 16
year olds when we add them to Mom and Dads auto policy.
I feel it does them some good.
I was wondering what you (the list) would want to pass on?
