When teens drive with their friends in the car it increases the likelihood of a crash.  According to John Hopkins University, two teens in a car increases the likelihood of a crash by 86 percent and three teens by 182 percent.

Distracted driving is responsible for over 25 of all crashes and is especially dangerous for teen drivers. Cell phones, CD players, passengers, and other in-vehicle distractions can divert teens’ attention from driving and increase their risk of a crash.
