Distracted Driving Among Newly Licensed Teen Drivers

The Situation  With teen crash rates roughly four times higher than those of adult drivers, traffic crashes remain the leading cause of death for the age group  To date there has been little concrete information or research available on distracted driving among teens specifically  Teenage drivers are believed to be at risk for distracted driving-related crashes, as they are avid users of cell phones and other technologies, are inexperienced drivers, and are still undergoing development in areas of the brain responsible for decision-making and risk management
