As a female driver, staying safe on the road involves a unique set of challenges. Our podcast episode, “Staying Safe as a Female Driver,” aims to empower young women with practical tips and resources to ensure their safety while driving. We’ll explore everything from vehicle maintenance to personal security, and how to handle uncomfortable situations.

No one wants to imagine being in an emergency situation, but being prepared could be a lifesaver. In this podcast episode titled “Emergencies,” we equip young drivers with the knowledge and skills to respond effectively during road emergencies. We’ll tackle various scenarios, from flat tires to engine overheating, and guide you on what to do. Listen in to be prepared, because the best defense is a good offense.

As drivers, sharing the road with cyclists can sometimes be tricky. Our podcast episode, “Cycling: Tips for Drivers & Riders,” is designed to clear the confusion and foster a harmonious road relationship. We’ll delve into the rules of the road for both parties, provide tips on avoiding common hazards, and discuss ways to respect and protect each other’s space.

Driving involves more than handling a vehicle; it’s also about communication and speaking up when necessary. In this episode, “Our Stories About Speaking Up,” we share real-life experiences of teen drivers who have made a difference by voicing their concerns. Their courage has led to safer roads and has shaped them into responsible drivers. Listen in and learn how speaking up can truly save lives.

Embarking on a road trip is a thrilling adventure, but for inexperienced teen drivers, it can be quite a challenge. Welcome to our Roadtrips podcast episode, where we explore the ins and outs of planning and executing a successful, safe road trip. From pre-trip vehicle checks to understanding road signs, we’ve got you covered. Buckle up as we journey together on the road of discovery!

Your teen would probably opt for a sports car or a pickup truck. You might choose an old clunker (because the scratches won’t matter) or a mini car that would limit distracting passengers. But what vehicles are really best for teens? Becca Weast, from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), provides tips to help you figure it out.

NOTE: The video version of this episode includes crash test videos that demonstrate that vehicle size matters and Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is a must-have feature. Listeners can check out the videos at IIHS.org
