 Teen Driving Dangers

Teenagers make up only 7% of the total driving population, but account for nearly 14% of all road accidents. Motor accidents are the major cause of deaths in the age group of 15-20. Nearly 5000 teenagers die yearly from road accidents. In fact, 16 year old drivers have the highest occurrence of road accidents. There are multiple reasons as to why teenagers are so vulnerable to road accidents.

Research by National Institutes of Health have concluded that a teenager often lack good judgment. A teenager brain is not completely developed, and lacks the ability to make critical and quick decisions. The brain also lacks the ability to control actions made on impulse, which is very common in teenagers.

Just because a teenager gets a driving license at the age of 16 doesn’t make him/her a good driver. Most parents send their children to driving schools rather than teaching themselves. However, driving schools do not perfectly hone driving skills. Teenagers are given just basic driving lessons which are enough to pass a driving test. They are not exposed to or are educated to handle specific situations like heavy traffic, highway, driving during rain/snowfall etc. In a survey, it was found out that many driving instructors had criminal charges against them and/or had had their license suspended at some point or the other.

Lack of discipline is one of the dangers involved with teen driving. With parents not around while learning to drive, teenagers are not exposed to a strict disciplined environment and hence disregard the most basic of rules. Most young drivers disregard seat belts as well as speed limits. They are unaware of some of the most basic road courtesies like signaling while changing lanes, yielding way and keeping a safe distance. Alcohol is also a major danger among teenage drivers, with almost 30% of teenage driving deaths having some DUI element.

Teenagers are easily distracted. Gunning for the first place will be cell phones. Young adults are consistently hooked on to the device and spend all their time texting or calling, even while driving. Using your cellphone while driving takes your eyes and mind off the road, making you vulnerable to accidents. A study found that teenagers were more likely to fall prey to an accident when traveling in a group, which happens usually on prom nights, or parties. It was also found that when a male passenger drives or sits in the passenger seat, there are higher occurrences of overspeeding. Females were less likely to speed. Peer pressure is also a danger for teenagers.

The most basic step against dangers involved with teenage driving is to fill the gaps in knowledge that teenagers have. Parents should take an initiative to make their teenagers aware of basic rules and teach them how to react to specific conditions. There have been various protests and lobbying over stricter driving rules like raising the age for getting a license and safer cars. Parents need to keep a check on their kid and limit the number of passenger in a car. Set rules such as making it compulsory to wear seat belts at all time, even while not driving. Restricting the time when they can drive and also from traveling in cars driven by other teenagers.
