Teen Driving

Delaware driving school regulations may seem harsh, but they are only strict because teen driving is so dangerous. Poor Delaware teen driving comes from a combination of three things – lack of experience, feelings of invincibility, and peer pressure. Teen driving school is meant to give you a base of knowledge to prevent accidents on the road.

However, young adult drivers cause more accidents in Delaware than any other age group. Risky behavior that teens often exhibit include the following:

• Speeding

• Racing on the highways

• Carrying more passengers than seat belts

• Running stop signs and red lights

• Road rage/aggressive driving

• Illegal passing

• Drinking and driving

Across the country, thousands of teen drivers die in car accidents every year. By requiring Delaware driver’s ed classes and restricting driving with a permit and with a junior license, some deaths are prevented. Ultimately, though, it is up to the driver to act responsibly and avoid dangerous driving situations.
