    crashes for teenagers. I would have guessed it would be distracted driving like being on their phones or doing things like that. My second guess was speeding but it came up third which really surprised me because teenagers kind of have a reputation of driving faster than the speed limit.

    How often are you actually engaged with your eyes on the road while driving? For some reason, one of the most common times for people to doze off or completely stop paying attention is while they’re on the road.
