Topic Two
Juvenile Licensing Laws
True or False
The brain does not mature until
about age 25.
Please stand if you believe this
statement is true.
6
True!
The Frontal Lobe is the area of the
brain that controls understanding
consequences and suppressing
impulses and does not mature
until about age 25
7
The Teenage Brain
The teen brain has a tendency to underestimate dangerous
situations
It is attracted to thrill-seeking and other experiences that
create intense feelings
This is why teens often speed, weave in and out of traffic,
follow too closely, talk on their cell phones, or drive while
fatigued or intoxicated

10
What Causes Teen Crashes?
Evidence shows that
it is NOT poor driving
skills that cause
crashes among teen
drivers…
It is inexperience and attitude
11
Reducing Teen Driving Risks
Driving Inexperience: New
drivers need a lot of guided
practice to recognize and
correctly respond to potential
driving hazards.
Lack of Maturity: Teens can
act like adults or like children
depending on the
circumstances and their
motivation.

Teen Fatalities
Not just a TEEN problem
Two out of every
three people
killed in a crash
involving a teen
driver were not
teens

communicates important information about
the sign's message. In poor visibility
conditions, such as heavy fog, you may be

read the message or see the symbol, giving
you some advance information.
