[1945017téléphonesportables] Forget; rowdy friends can be the riskiest driver distraction for teenagers, according to new research. The researchers installed video recorders and G-Force in vehicles by 52 students of the newly authorized school for 6 months. They found that some distractions, such as playing with the controls of the car and eat, are not closely related to serious incidents, which included strikes and evasive maneuvers. However, when the passengers in the car were engaged in a loud conversation teenage drivers were six times more likely to have a serious incident. Moreover, horseplay increased risk by a factor of three while using cell phone than doubled it, the team reported online this week in the Journal of Adolescent Health . Forty-three states restrict newly licensed drivers to have more than one other teenager in the car, and the authors of the study say their data suggest that is a good policy.
