Teen Driving Dangers

Nearly half of teenagers who die prematurely and in a tragic way in the U.S. do so as a result of vehicle crashes. Half of those, sadly, die while riding as passengers with other teen drivers. Teens are in the highest risk category when it comes to vehicle crashes, chiefly due to inexperience behind the wheel but also several other factors. The incidence of crash involvements per 1,000 people is almost double for teenagers over that for other age groups.

The National Safety Council (NSC) considers the problem to be a national crisis, as do insurance companies and most parents. Experts in the field are spending massive resources in an effort to find ways to cut down the death rate and minimize the danger to teen drivers, but all agree that the fight is difficult and one that begins and ends with the teenager.

According to the NSC, researchers are finding that the area of the brainthat controls the ability to weigh the consequences of one’s actionshas not yet reached its maturity in the teenager. In fact, this area of thebrain doesn’t develop fully until about the age of 25. In addition,active hormones in the teenage brain limit the ability to control mood andexcitability and thus create the thrill-seeking behavior so often seen inyoung people. This, experts agree, is a bad set of behavioral factors inwhich to introduce driving skills.

Direct Debit could cost New Buyers............

MoneyExpert.com, the independent financial comparison website, found that an average fully comprehensive premium of around £762 could rise to as much as £1,044 if you choose to spread your payments. Only 14 per cent of the 185 fully comprehensive motor insurance policies on the market don’t charge extra for paying by direct debit, and the average APR for those that do is an extravagant 21.5 per cent

For the record, any investment which promises returns of over, say, 6% a year carries a risk to your capital. In other words, unlike a safe savings account, it could lose you money. Thus, be wary of 'get rich quick' schemes offering mouth-watering returns over short periods. Ninety-nine times out of a hundred, they'll be a complete con, as victims of boiler rooms, Ponzi schemes and fake lotteries have learned to their cost.
