A recent study,published in last week’s Journal of the American Medical Association,offers a picture ofhow risky it is to get a lift from a teenage driver,Indeed,a 16-year-old
driver with three or more passengers is three times as likely to have a fatal
accident as a teenager driving alone,By contrast,the risk of death for
drivers between 30 and 59 decreases with each additional passenger.
The authors also found that the death rates
for teenage drivers increased dramatically after 10 p.m.,and especially after
midnight,With passengers in the car,the driver was even more likely to die in
a late-night accident.
Robert Foss,a scientist at the University
of North Carolina Highway Safety Research Center,says the higher death rates
for teenage drivers have less to do with “really stupid behavior” than with
just a lack of driving experience.“The basic issue.” Be says,“is that adults
who are responsible for issuing licenses fail to recognize how complex and
skilled a task driving is.”
Both he and the author of the study believe that
the way to mitigate (使……缓解)the problem is to have states institute so-called graduated licensing
systems,in which getting a license is a multistage process.A graduated
license requires that a teenager first prove himself capable of driving in the
presence of an adult,followed by a period of driving with night of passenger
restrictions,before graduating to full driving privileges.
Graduated licensing systems have reduced
teenage driver crashes,according to recent studies,about half of the states
now have some sort of graduated licensing system in place,but only 10 of those
states have restrictions on passengers,California is the strictest,with a
novice(新手)driver prohibited from carrying any passenger under
20(without the presence of an adult over 25)for the first six months.
