Teenagers, Friends, and Bad Decisions

This article about teenage driving is very interesting but not very surprising. It is no surprise to me that teenagers are bad drivers. I see it every day in the parking lot at school. When teenagers get around their friends, things change. Everyone wants to look "cool" in front of their friends and be a risk taker. Obviously this is getting people nowhere. So many car crashes and deaths are caused by teenagers these days and their reckless driving. This article reinforced the idea that teenagers are influenced greatly by their peers and friends. Our driving changes when our friends are around which is not a good thing at all and is making the roads less and less safe.
