Throughout our nation’s late history, reckless driving has been the number one killer of teens. Since the 1950s Hollywood has been glorifying the acts of aggressive driving and racing. And, despite unprecedented attempts to stop reckless driving among our nation’s youth, it still kills over 5,000 teens every year. More and more states are now making teens go through graduated driver’s licenses which force more rigorous driver training and education, and getting a learners permit’s where they must drive with their parents for the first six months, as well as not being allowed to transport any of their friends for their first year of licensure. Many states, like Michigan and South Carolina have reported deaths among teens drop by over 25 percent. Although, we still need to take more and more drastic efforts to eliminate reckless driving, specifically among teens.
