You are teen driver and don’t have enough experience.

Texting and Phone Calls

That’s why every time they hear a messenger signal they try to answer right now and right here! You must be always in the swim of things. But it can cost you your life! If you feel you can’t control yourself, just turn off your phone when driving. Everything that distracts you from driving is dangerous.

If you feel like you’d better sleep than drive, don’t ride your car today. So, planning a long road trip, it is better to have an extra driver in your car to change places when it is needed.

Lack of Experience
