SAMPLE SAFE DRIVING CONTRACT

TO MY PARENTS:

I agree to call you for advice and/or transportation at any hour, from any place, if I am ever in a situation where I have been drinking, my ride has been drinking, or I am unable to find a safe ride home for any reason. Even if I have been doing something you disapprove of and I am afraid of being punished or disappointing you, I know that my safety is the most important thing. I also agree to always wear a seatbelt when riding in a vehicle because I know that a teenager has a car accident every 5 seconds in this country and I want to be safe.

TO MY SON/DAUGHTER:

I agree to provide transportation for you and/or your friends at any hour from any place. I may pick you up myself, send a responsible driver, or call a taxi to bring you home safely. There will be no questions asked and no argument at that time- we will discuss the issue at a time when we are both rested and ready to talk about it. Even if I am tired, angry, disappointed, and concerned, your safety is my number one concern.
