• Some distractions are more dangerous than others

• Teens perceive a hierarchy of increasing danger on some factors.

• If they see it often, they may assume it carries little risk

• Effective communication acknowledges these nuances

Should teens be the main driver of the car?

For this study:Primary access = teen perceives self as main driver Shared access = teen shares car with other family membersNearly three-fourths of today’s teens have primary access
