Abstract
The chief contributors to morbidity and mortality during adolescence are behavioral, and automobile crashes top the list of these behavioral risks [1]. Driving is dangerous, and it is especially so when the driver is a teenager. Although inexperience undoubtedly plays a role in the disproportionately elevated rate of automobile crashes that involve adolescent drivers, a lack of experience behind the wheel does not fully account for the age differential. Even when adolescent drivers are compared with older drivers having a similar amount of driving experience—for instance, 17-year-olds who have been driving for a year with 22-year-olds who didn't begin driving until they turned 21—crash rates are still higher among the teenagers [2].
