There is a huge risk, the teenage drivers provide regular and despite what many people previously believed, it has to do drink with nothing, acceleration or failed to use a safety harness.  According to a recent national 10-year study of Highway it has deaths at night time to do.  Driving after dark is the greatest danger for teen drivers.

The study was conducted by the Texas Transportation Institute.  Researchers analyzed data flow rates fatality from 1999 to 2008.  During this time, the number of deaths actually went over the nation, with the exception of the nighttime fatalities.  This problem caused researchers to deeper.  Apparently had the answer they came up with with teenage to do drivers using cell phones at night.

"Everything is in the same direction for this age group, and that it is due to the use of mobile phones behind the wheel."  "If you mobile phone combine the night danger and the risk with inexperience, you a perfect storm created", said Bernie fats, one of the authors of the study.  Fat again in an article in the Washington Post, that young people are very comfortable with mobile phones in their hands, and this level of comfort can lead to a false sense of security.

Teens require more sleep than drivers who are in older age groups. When behind the wheel tired teenage driver receives, it is similar to be intoxicated.  The combination of this risk with the high level of mobile phone use among this age group, the result can be fatal.

The lesson that can be learned from this study - to teen driver put their cell phones and pay attention to the road.
