  1. All of them. Dead is dead no matter the cause.


  2. Driving without a seatbelt - if it is one choice out of all four. Being unprotected in an accident is more likely to be the larger cause of danger as it is a higher likelihood that they will be involved in an accident due to 1) their own mistake and, 2) someone else's mistake; 3) mechanical failure, etc.

    Also, you forgot - limiting underage passengers to 1.

    The law is

  3. drinking

  4. All of the above but mainly (C).

    JANUARY 2008

    Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death among 15- to 20-year olds.

    According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, 3,490 drivers in this age group died in motor vehicle crashes in 2006 and an additional 272,000 were injured.

    Drivers age 15- to 20-years old accounted for 12.9 percent of all the drivers involved in fatal crashes and 16 percent of all the drivers involved in police-reported crashes.

    Twenty-five percent of teen drivers killed were intoxicated.

  5. E.) All the above

  6. Definitely drinking and driving

    It offers the worst penalty financially and exhibits the highest chance of causing death to one's self or another

    speeding = speeding ticket, the teen will learn quickly if u make them pay the extra insurance and ticket(s)

    talking on the phone

    this is a pretty grey area...

    driving without a seatbelt

    that is just completely ludicrous, there's absolutely no excuse to not have a seatbelt properly on

  7. c.) because is the most dangerous among all

  8. My answer is a question - what causes teens (anyone) to drive like what you describe?...Nobody gets behind the wheel and indulges in any of these things without some sort of stimulus...Driving takes maybe only 5-10 % physical effort, but it demands 100% mental effort - judgement, discipline, experience...If we do not exercise the mental requirements needed to keep us under control, we will crash...And unfortunately, the mental aspects are not emphasized enough during driver's ed.

  9. Driving a car full of teenage passengers, especially if driver and passengers are all male.

  10. If I had to choose just one, it would the d) Driving without a seatbelt. If they are speeding, drinking, or talking on the phone while driving and in a crash, it could help save their life. They shouldn't do any of it because they can all kill the driver, the passengers, and any people in a vehicle they might hit.

  11. speeding alot kids here drive way to fast through traffic thinking there invincble speed racer 2 fast 2 furius whatever and yes I have seen them crash many times and avoided there back end almost hiting my car cuting me off while im doing speed limit

  12. All of the above

  13. C and D. A and B can be done without a hassle if one is really an agile and intelligent driver...
