Is Your Teen Safe on the Road?

If your teenage just got their license and is enthusiastically asking you to borrow your Ford to drive to a friend's house, you may want to think twice before handing over the Ford's keys.  Recent research has shown just how dangerous driving really is for green teenage drivers.  In fact, motor vehicle crashes remain the number one cause of death for adolescence.  Whether your teen is borrowing the keys to your Ford truck or your tiny Honda, the numbers remain the same; between 5,000 and 6,000 teens are killed every year in America from motor vehicle crashes.  No other kind of hazard comes close to claiming as many teenage lives, including homicides and suicides.
Researchers from The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia have held nothing back as they delved into teenage crashes, the statistics around them, and the most common causes.  They have found that the greatest lifetime chance of crashing occurs in the first 6 months after licensure.  One of the main causes of teenage automobile accidents was distractions.  Today's teenager's deal with tweets, Facebook updates and a constant stream of text messages and the result can be fatal.  In 2010, 11 percent of 15-19-year-old drivers that died in car crashes were distracted while driving.
 The group of researchers called TeenDriverSource from The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, found that the overwhelming majority, 75%, of serious teen driver crashes are due to critical errors; the three most common errors accounting for nearly half of crashes.  The first error was a lack of scanning that is needed to detect and respond to hazards.  Teenagers evidently do not deal well with traffic because they forget to check behind their vehicle and on both sides of the car.  The second most common error that was the cause of most teenage accidents was going too fast for road conditions.  Teenagers that drove too fast to respond to other drivers successfully or to navigate curves or slippery spots on the road often ended up in a car accident.  The third most common error was being distracted by something inside or outside of the vehicle.  Teens often do not realize the amount of constant attention it takes to be at the wheel safely.
