Driving. Some regard it as one of the most dangerous activities a person could do. Regardless of your opinion it is no surprise to hear that most car accident involve adolescents . The two primary reasons are drunk driving and texting while driving. Texting while driving has become a serious issues in the past couple years. Many states(including California) have taken measures to stop texting deaths. Several states now have a law banning phone use while driving.
On a semi sexist note studies show that teen female drivers are more likely to get into an accident then their male counterparts. This is do to the fact that female teens are more likely to be on a phone at any given time, even while driving. It would seem that the age old saying women can’t drive is true, at least in a certain age group.

What are those studies that suggest women (teen or adult) are more likely to be in an accident? I was intrigued by your statement and did a little research. All data I found suggest the opposite:
“According to TrafficSTATS, a risk analysis study by Carnegie Mellon for AAA in 2007, men have a 77% higher risk of dying in an accident compared to women. The study, using information from both the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) and the National Household Travel Survey estimated fatalities per 100 million trips to be 14.61 for men and 6.53 for women. The total number of fatalities between 1999 and 2005 were 175,094 for men and 82,371 women.
According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), 14,512 male drivers died in 2007 compared to 5,865 female drivers, and even though there tend to be more male drivers on the road than females, the numbers strongly support the TrafficSTATS report.”
In addition, several sites I looked into including the National Institute for Health conclude that 2 out of 3 teen driving deaths are young men. I agree with your conclusion, however, that we should all drive more carefully. A life, or a lifetime of opportunities, can slip away in an instant of carelessness.
From what I have read, men are much more likely to get into a fatal accident while women have more accidents. Your stats seem to potentially hint to that.
It is very hard not to look at your phone while driving. I’m too old to text with any speed or dexterity so I leave that alone.
Teenage female drivers are more likely to be in an phone related driving accident then their male counterparts.
