Numerous studies on brain development have shown that the brain doesn’t reach full maturity until the mid-twenties, long after teenagers can apply for their drivers license. While distracted driving can happen at any age, teenagers have been more likely to engage in typical distracted driving behaviors like texting and driving. Additionally, if they are driving with friends in the car, they can be easily distracted, which leads to less paying attention to the road and more car accidents. Unfortunately, many teen drivers also drive while under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol.
