Friends, cell phones, music, food, texts are all serious distractions for any driver. Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and State Farm Insurance reported that close to 90% of teens observed other teens talking on their phones and over 50% reported their peers using phones for texting and music playlists. IIHS and Johns Hopkins University have reported that 16-year-old drivers with two passengers are at double the risk of having a fatal car crash than if they were driving alone. Three or more triples the risk.

• Driver Behavior Survey: Analysis of the current beliefs of the student
• Reality Check Video on Distracted Drivers
• Demonstrate: The student will participate in scenarios that are designed to help the student understand how distracted driving affects everyone.
• Experience: The student will practice scanning in scenarios that are designed to help the student develop strong scanning skills so that they are able to spot distracted drivers.
• Apply: The student will apply what they have learned by completing scenarios that are designed to challenge to student to avoid collisions.

Teens speed mostly because they don’t have a good sense of how a car’s speed can affect their response time. The Institute for Highway Safety reported that speeding was a key factor in one-third of all fatal car crashes when teens are behind the wheel.

• Experience: The student will practice speed control scenarios to help them become more aware of their speed.
• Apply: The student will apply what they have learned by completing scenarios that are designed to challenge to student keep the appropriate speed to avoid collisions.

Maintaining a proper following distance is a critical step in preventing collisions. Unfortunately, many teens fail to do so. Many will tend to drive aggressively to show off or emulate what they have seen from the adults in their lives.

• Reality Check Video on Space Cushion
• Demonstrate: The student will participate in scenarios that are designed to help the student understand how far they are from other vehicles and how that affects the ability to stop.
• Experience: The student will practice keeping the appropriate space cushion in scenarios that are designed to help the student develop strong skills so that they are able to react to other vehicles.
• Apply: The student will apply what they have learned by completing scenarios that are designed to challenge to student to keep the appropriate space cushion and avoid collisions.

Teen drivers are known to take too many risks. Studies have proven that when confronting risky choices, teen brains exhibit twice as much activity in the impulse area as adult brains, while the area that expresses restraint lags. This can lead to making the decision to accelerate at a yellow-red light versus stopping leading to potentially deadly red-light running incidents.

• Driver Behavior Survey: Analysis of the current beliefs of the student
• Reality Check Video on Red-Light Running
• Demonstrate: The student will participate in scenarios that are designed to help the student understand how far they are from a stoplight, and when they should start braking.
• Experience: The student will practice scanning in scenarios that are designed to help the student develop strong scanning skills so that they are able to avoid red-light runners.
• Apply: The student will apply what they have learned by completing scenarios that are designed to challenge a student to stop appropriately at red-lights and avoiding red-light runners.
