Interesting Facts of Risky Teenage Driving

Through my research I've learned that certain demographics within the teenage population are more likely to engage in risky driving activities than others.  These demographics include: males, drivers with teenage passengers, and newly licensed drivers.

Male teens are more likely to engage in risky driving activities such as speeding and failing to leave space between their car and the one in front of them.  Male teens drive more recklessly than their female counterparts because they are trying to impress their friends.

Drivers with other teenage passengers are also more likely to be involved in risky driving scenarios. This is because the passengers tend to "egg on" the driver to speed, drive unsafely and recklessly, and distract the drivers through distracting motions, talking to the driver, blasting music, and by drinking or smoking.

Newly licensed drivers are the final demographic that are more likely than other teens to engage in risky driving situations.  This is primarily because of their lack of experience in driving and the over-confident attitude they have towards their driving skills.  This could also be due to their inability to handle and recognize dangerous driving situations.
