The article starts out by saying that studies show that teens are more likely to make bad decisions when they are with friends compared to being alone. To test this, teens played a driving game in which they were trying to get the lowest time. During half the time they were with friends there and half alone. Adults had little to no time change; however, teens had a huge change. Peers effect how the teen brain works. Teens have more likely to be in accident with other teens in the car.
To be honest, I am not surprised by the study. However, I am not like this. I have noticed that I drive slower with friends in the car. My friends are quick to judge my driving.
