Human behavior accounts for nearly all of motor vehicle crashes. Motor vehicle crashes are a leading cause of death for teens all across the country. In fact teen drivers' inexperience and distractions make them responsible for 21 percent of all crashes in Utah. But, when parents are involved in a supportive way, teens are half as likely to speed, 70 percent less likely to drink & drive, 2 times more likely to buckle up and 30 percent less likely to use a phone when driving.
