What Teenage Drivers Don't Know - The Unwritten Rules of the Road
Naperville, Illinois (PRWEB) March 26, 2014 -- Are teenage drivers today effectively prepared to begin driving at such a young age? Is there something more we can teach them in order to make the roadways safer for everyone?
John Harmata, Paul Zientarski and Dan Hollander believes there is and will be releasing their new book, “What Teenage Drivers Don’t Know – The Unwritten Rules of the Road – A Guide for Student Drivers and Their Parents” this summer. The three have been working closely with Naperville, Illinois Mayor A. George Pradel, city prosecutor Michael DeSanto and others in reviewing and fine tuning their new book; a first in driver’s education.
Mayor Pradel recognizes the need for such a book and has lent his support to help bring this book to the forefront of driver education. Harmata states, “I do not expect this book to replace any of the States’ “Rules of the Road”, but rather this book be used as a compliment to current teaching materials.
The book is due for release in July of this year and will be first distributed to Illinois School District’s 203 and 204 in August. It will then be available to schools across the nation beginning in December. Cost for the book to students will be nominal. It is hoped however, that in the future, businesses and corporations will step up with sponsorship monies to cover costs so that the estimated 4 million new driving students per year and their parents will be able to receive them at no charge.
