Friends drive teen drivers to distraction
Teen drivers are known to be more likely to crash if they have a bunch of friends in the car. Now, this has been proven by two studies how those passengers can lead them to drive unsafely. In those situations, teens were most likely to consider themselves "thrill-seekers." Also, teen drivers with teen passengers were more likely to be distracted just before a crash, compared to teens who crashed while driving alone. Teen boys were six times more likely to break a driving law and more than twice as likely to drive aggressively, compared to boys driving alone. Girls rarely drove aggressively before a crash, whether or not they had passengers.
