Your friend with an adolescent the same age as yours (16 years) stated, "I don't know why they don't just let kids drive after nine and without an adult; I don't have time to be in the car with my son all the time

Besides, the only way he will get to be a good driver is to drive more and without all these ridiculous restrictions." Does the research support her claim? Why or why not?
What will be an ideal response?

Inexperience is not the only factor to explain why motor vehicle injuries are the leading cause of death among individuals in this age period. Emerging adults are more likely to take risks (driving too fast, following too closely, driving while under the influence of alcohol, not wearing seatbelts) and to be driving in a car with friends who may increase the chances that they engage in these risky tendencies.
