It was once the ultimate sign of freedom from your parents, the day you got driver's license. But, a new study shows a changing trend for young adults in the United States.
If it seems to you that many new, teenage motorists don't know what they're doing behind the wheel and engage in potentially dangerous behavior, the results of a new study suggest you are correct.
WOODBRIDGE, N.J. (AP) -- New Jersey police say a teenager who had just received her learner's permit drove into an apartment building and struck three gas meters after hitting the accelerator instead of the brake.
The rate of licensure among teens in New Jersey has remained steady from 2006 to 2011, despite the implementation of new Graduate Driver License provisions, according to a new study by AAA.
The summer season is the most popular time of year for teens to obtain their driver's licenses. It is also a dangerous time, as an average of 260 teen deaths result from car accidents during the summer months.
Summer may be a time for fun in the sun, but for teen drivers it is one of the deadliest and most dangerous times on the roads according to AAA Mid-Atlantic.
