We all know that parents often have a huge influence over the expectations, behaviour and purchasing decisions of their children. Whether to invest in a safe first car, get a telematics insurance policy, or help with private practice are all critical decisions that, for many learners, will be down to their parents. FirstCar publishes the Parent Guide to offer parents of new drivers information and advice to help them navigate the learning-to-drive journey and keep them safe after passing the driving test.

MyCarMyRules was born out of a vehicle Olly stopped during a young driver operation he was involved in as a Roads Policing Officer. The car had a 17yr old driver and three of her best friends in the car. When Olly asked the driver about the risks her and her passengers were facing, she passed him a piece of paper she had folded up in the centre console. On it was written MyCarMyRules with the following five rules;

• Do not distract the driver.

• Everyone must always wear a seatbelt

• No drugs, no exceptions!

• Only decent music to be played.

• No smelly farts!

Every passenger that got into this young lady’s car had to agree to her rules before they got a lift anywhere.

Olly soon turned this excellent idea into a template for instructors and road safety professionals to engage young drivers and encourage them to set rules for passengers. Those who’ve used it find it a great conversation starter and we know from behavioural science that planning ahead and managing expectations can prevent awkward moments later!
