The Towering Threat Of Teenage Driving

By Nathan Lewit

Getting your license as a teenager was one of the greatest achievements that many of us can remember. It still is a memorable thing, but not quite in such a great way as it was in the past. Now teenage driving is associated with being one of the leading causes of teen deaths.

Nowadays we are all too familiar with the fact that car accidents are the leading cause of death for teens these days. A lot of this can be blamed on the experience that a teen doesn't have when it comes to being behind the wheel of an automobile. Along with this there are also other high risk behaviours that are associated with teenage driving.

Driver's education classes are a great start for a teen to begin their life of driving. It can give them a great foundation of what the rules are and the acceptable ways to act when you are behind the wheel of a vehicle. In class and in car lessons give them some of the experience they need, but this is far from enough. The learning needs to continue after the driver's education is complete.

Teenagers don't think the things that they do will harm anyone. This is scary as it is not uncommon to see a teen driver either on the phone or texting people while they are behind the wheel of a car. They are playing with fire when they do this type of thing. Not just with their lives, but with the other people that are out and about when they are driving in this manner as well.

There are new laws that have been set into place that makes such high risk behaviour illegal. This is a great step in bringing this teenage driving risk to a halt.

Another high risk thing that teens are still doing without much thought is drug and alcohol abuse while they are behind the wheel of a car. No matter how stiff the repercussions are for them if they get caught it does not seem to deter them from acting this way. There are still huge numbers of people each year being killed or seriously injured due to alcohol or drug related accidents that result from teenage driving. The only good thing is that law enforcement agencies are cracking down more and more on our youngsters than they did before.

Road racing is something that is generally seen in teenage males, it is very scary to know that they are acting in such a high risk manner. All young guys love speed, but it should be saved it for the right arena; Not in areas that are highly populated. This will only lead to big problems. There are certain places that do allow racing and should be looked into if this is something that they like to do.

There are many organizations that have been arranged to aid efforts with teenage driving and safety issues that surround them. The government assisting these organizations as well as personal donations are another thing that should be commended. These people are doing everything that they can to keep our young people safe while they are on the roads. Everyone needs to help with the efforts that are ongoing in regards to teenage driving and all the risks that can be associated with it. - 21392
