Teenagers literally think differently. Increasing scientific evidence has found that teens' brains are physically different from adults and still developing. That's why teenagers often do things that make people think, "What were they thinking?"
On the road, that can translate into erratic behavior behind the wheel. That's why many states have strict laws specifically for teen drivers. Georgia has laws governing teenage drivers designed to keep everyone on the road accident free. Such laws limit when teens in Georgia under 18 years old can drive. Teenage drivers in Georgia must also have no major traffic violations in order to obtain a full driver's license.
Such laws may sound strict. But they aren't tough enough, according to a recent study advocating nationwide phased-in teen driving rules. If every state had tougher phased-in teen driving laws, an estimated 2,000 traffic fatalities each year nationwide could be prevented, according to a detailed study done by the National Safety Council, which researched the issue for the Allstate Foundation.
