Description
TEENS BEHIND THE WHEEL examines the ongoing problems the United States faces in keeping teen drivers safe. The documentary explores the issues on the teenage mind — from independence, distraction and peer pressure to overconfidence and alcohol. Cameras mounted in the vehicles of six inexperienced teen drivers reveal some of their more risky behaviors, including speeding, aggressive driving, running red lights and ignoring stop signs. TEENS BEHIND THE WHEEL highlights the skill development and day-to-day driving habits of newly licensed teenagers, as well as the successes and failures of graduated licensing laws and the popularity of street racing. For the parent, TEENS BEHIND THE WHEEL provides a window into the driving mindset of young people. It also offers statistical and expert background on issues surrounding teen driving, and solutions to help parents better guide their children through the early driving years. For the teens, it highlights the risks and consequences associated with certain choices that young drivers often make and presents safe options (without lecturing) as they seek a more independent life through driving.
