Summer is here and young drivers are out of school and on the road in droves heading from place to place. Insurance Doctor<\/a> encourages parents to talk their children about driver safety on the road. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the leading causes of car crashes involving teens include driver inexperience, risk-taking behavior, high risk situations such as inclement weather, alcohol and drug use, not wearing a safety belt and distractions in the car. Texting is just one of many distractions for drivers on the road. Other distractions include:<\/p>\n

Answering cell phone calls
\nListening to loud music
\nTalking to and interacting with passengers
\nEating while driving
\nPutting on make-up while driving
\nReading maps or changing information on a GPS<\/p>\n
