Where should the supervising driver sit when supervising a teen with a learner's permit?

• A. In the front seat.
• B. In the back seat.
• C. On the front passenger seat behind the teen.
• D. It doesn't matter where the supervising driver sits.

Answer: (A)

The supervising driver should sit in the front seat beside the teen. This placement gives the supervisor the best line of sight to the teen’s driving, allows for clear and immediate communication, and enables quick intervention if a hazard appears. Being in the front passenger seat also makes it easier to guide the teen through complex situations and to take control of the vehicle if needed. Sitting in the back seat or behind the teen would reduce visibility and reaction time, increasing risk, and is not appropriate for active supervision.
