    • The involvement of teens in driving accidents reflects the delay in maturation of the ventral striatum, which causes under development of cognitive skills
    • researchers have identified two situations in which high arousal in teams is very likely when driving with their friends
    • young drivers, do not get a full license until they have completed an extended period of unsupervised driving
    • firstly, they are always supervised, then they could be unsupervised during daylight and finally they receive full privileges after reaching age 18, and passing stage two
    • usefulness
      One of the most useful restrictions is on the number of passengers allowed
      Friends are initially not allowed and in stage to only with an adult present
      This is response to heightened physiological arousal caused by the presence of friends that makes risk taking more likely
    • Practicality
      peden analyse the various components and concluded that the single most significant element is the extended periods of supervision
      It appears the longer it takes teens to drive independently, the less risky their behaviour is
