Do teens have better driving skills than adults?
No. Teenagers are more easily distracted than adults, and have more car accidents because of this. More than 35% of teen wrecks are because they were distracted by cellphones, loud music, conversation, or just inattention! The rest of the accidents are from driving too fast and not driving in a safe manner.There is a very good reason why auto insurance for teenagers is so much more expensive than it is for adults!
Should adults be charged for drinking and driving?
yes, drunken driving impairs driving and judgement, increasing a drivers chances of wrecking and seriously injuring or killing themselves or others.

How many adults die each year because of car accidents?
i don't know. you answer it u freak.
Are auto insurance rates better if you are married?
Never. The "logic" behind that is that there are now two adults living in the same household and they're both presumed to be driving (even if one doesn't have a license or is an invalid and can't drive.) Therefore, there's an increase in driving, an accompanying greater risk of accidents, and a higher chance that the insurance company may have to make a payout.

Why is it the law to wear a seat belt in cars and trucks and vans?
In the old days seatbelts were optional so most people never wore them. Unfortunately a lot of people died in car accidents. Most people who died in car accidents didn't wear their seatbelts. In the late 80's the government past the law that children had to wear their seatbelts but adults didn't have to. A few months or a few years later they past a law that adults had to wear their seatbelts. Seatbelts save lives but there's still a chance that you can die in a car crash anyway but it reduces your chances by 80%.
The main cause of death among young adults between the ages of 15 through 24 is motor vehicle accidents?
That isn't a question
What are the benefits of raising the driving age?
If your neighbor robs a bank, should you go to jail? No. If your classmate gets in an accident, should your driver's license be taken away? Of course not! Neither situation is fair. Raising the driving age will punish all young drivers for the mistakes of a few of their peers. In this country we live by the principle of innocent until proven guilty. Those who want to raise the driving age have labeled teens guilty before they've gotten in an accident or before they've even stepped into a car. They believe that just because of your birth date, you are dangerous and must be punished by having your ability to drive taken from you. Those who favor raising the driving age say that statistics show teenagers are more likely to get into accidents than adults. What they don't say is that statistics also show that men of all ages are 77 percent more likely to kill someone while driving than women. If people want to save lives by raising the driving age, then how about saving lives by allowing only women to drive? Except raising the driving age won't save lives. Studies show that it is INEXPERIENCE, not age, that causes accidents. Raising the driving age will just create inexperienced, accident-prone drivers at 18 instead of 16. Teens need the ability to drive just as much as anyone else--to get to school, to get to work, to get to sports or band practice, or just to go out with their friends. Cars are necessary for mobility in this country. Taking that away is a large disruption to the lives of teenagers for no good reason. Never once has an expert told us age is an issue. Not every parent is going to be able to take their kids to a job. Now you're going to take away their right to go to that job. ''Raising the age is the wrong thing. I see kids at 16 years old . . . most of them, they can drive fine," said David Leung, owner of D&D Auto School, which runs driver's education programs for high school students in Boston, Quincy, and Randolph. You have given some excellent reasons. I automatically assumed that the "loudest" voices on this issue were right. Thank you for your input. It did get me to considering that the problem may not be the age of the troublesome individuals, but a lack of consequences when they first run into trouble. Can someone provide any information on how leniently or not that young people are handled for first and/or second traffic offenses. That may be a good addition to this issue.
What influences drunk driving?
Drunk Driving is a case mostly involving young adults. I guess one of the major influence is peer pressure.
How many teens get in an accident more than adults do?
Many teens get in an accident because they are driving unsafe. Ex. No seatbelts or texting while driving. The ratio of teens to adults getting in an accident is about 71% out of 100% to 48% out of 100% Thank-you
