Teens who drive dangerously learn from mom and dad
Teens who engage in distracted and dangerous driving most likely learned their bad driving skills from their parents, according to a study released this week. Nine out of 10 said they talked on their cell phone while driving and 94 percent admitted to speeding. A majority of teens said their parents practiced 'do as I say, not as I do' rules when it came to driving. Meanwhile, when kids notice their parents driving poorly, they never say anything. Only 21 percent of teens in the study said they would ask their parents to stop driving while under the influence of alcohol.

Parents should realize that they are their childrens role models, so if they speed while driving, theres a high chance that their kid will do so also. While a teen learning how to drive is in the car with a parent, that adult should take responsibilty and be careful with their actions.
