Study Details Common Teen Driving Errors in Serious Crashes
The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and State Farm Insurance Companies ® have published a study that identifies the most common errors teen drivers make leading to serious crashes. The study found a virtual tie among the top three errors –
- Lack of scanning needed to detect and respond to hazards.
- Driving too fast for road conditions (for example, driving too fast to respond to others, or to navigate a curve).
- Distracted driving.
