hy is distcted d

oblem fo

h, so I think most people could p

ob

bly guess the most obvious

ns

e

to th

t question.

nd th

t just

e

lly h

s to do

ith the big cultu

ll of the teen

e so th

he

e th

t h

s

t

e

tes

he

e the

e

e stimuli const

ntly coming

t us the

e

e mo

e distctions th

n eve

befo

e.

nd teen d

ive

s e especi

lly susceptible to those stimuli.

nd to those distctions, you kno

,

hen you'

e

te

m, you think you’

e invincible, fo

su

e you h

ve less expe

ience

s

he

s it’s neve

he

e

s you kno

,

teen d

ive

o

less expe

ienced d

ive

is not going to be

ble to

ccount fo

those things.

nd

lso, I think, in genel, the

e is less

eness in teens of the consequences of dist

cted d

iving,

nd

e

lly ho

it c

n imp

ct not only thei

lives, but the lives of othe

s out the

t

inly to the extent th

t th

t dist

cted d

uses

csh. The consequences typic

lly

e

nd ce

t

inly c

n be seve

e fo

eve

ybody, both the teen d

ive

s

nd the othe

d

ive

s out the

e on the

nd just kind of by y of

efe

ence, to

dd

little bit of context to th

t gene

l st

tement is the f

ct th

t d

ive

distction is

esponsible fo

mo

e th

n 58% of

ll moto

vehicle cshes. Th

t’s

st

tistic th

t I ce

t

inly found su

p

ising. You might not expect it to be th

t disp

te

ith othe

f

cto

othe

c

uses, but specific

lly 14 cshes. So 58% on the v

st m

jo

used by dist

cted d

nd the

e

e

e some othe

st

t

ould you s

y texting is p

ob

one distctions?

bsolutely, it’s got to be bec

use it involves such

high level of imp

i

ment.

nd you c

sily. But it's something like

bout 23 times mo

e likely to involve someone in

c

sh, if they’

one on eve

ybody's list fo

the most

iskiest
