Teen drivers are at great risk of harm to themselves, their occupants, other drivers and pedestrians on the road. According to the CDC teens are more likely than adult drivers to underestimate dangerous situation on the road, drive at high speeds on wet roads, tailgate cars in front on them, drink and drive, drive while distracted by fellow occupants, and use their mobile phones while driving.
