There are certain elements that need to
be taken into consideration while creating your own contract.
Layout: Do you make it more plain /
cut and dry? Or do you opt for the playful? We would recommend
you make it like an actual agreement - no fluff - so the teen
will know you are serious about enforcing any
consequences/punishments.
Rules: What is the history of your relationship with
your teen? Has the teen displayed defiant or reckless behavior
previously? Is the teen trustworthy and responsible? The tone
will be determined by the answers to these and other
questions.
The Punishment: Is this a sweet-sixteen? Or is the teen
already an experienced driver? Does the teen have a clean
driving record or a poor history? We would recommend a series
of consequences - first offense, second offense, third/final
offense. It may also be appropriate to put a consequence
level depending on the severity of the offense.
Driving contracts take time and thought while preparing - make
sure you are able to enforce it and you are comfortable with
it before you present it to your teen. Then spend the time
with your teen driver to discuss the rules and make sure they
understand your intentions. Help them realize that automobiles
are extremely expensive as well as the insurance, gas, and
maintenance.
We also recommend a group of contracts that has a teen driving
contract bundled with it for less than $20 and can save many
hours.
