Article of the Day:Teens are Still Bad Drivers

Even though fatalities among teen drivers are at the lowest point in decades, a new study shows that they still aren't good drivers. After an intense group of surveys, it is shown that 89% of teens consider themselves safe drivers, but among this group 71% of them admit to speeding. After a year or longer on the road, 47% report going too fast, versus 28% who have been on the road only 6 months or so. Also, a survey of 1,000 parents showed that only 38% of them thought that their kids sped. Some other scary statistics are 36% of teens admitting to driving aggresively, 31% of them reported road rage as well. The biggest tools to combat these hazards are parental guidance and experience, reports the study by Liberty Mutual Insurance and Students Against Destructive Decisions.
