What is a common behavior of young distracted drivers?

Young distracted drivers often exhibit a failure to maintain proper control of their vehicle, which can manifest in various unsafe behaviors such as swerving, speeding or not yielding the right-of-way when necessary. This lack of control is frequently attributed to distractions caused by activities like texting, using social media, or engaging with various devices while driving. Such distractions can severely impair their ability to react appropriately to road conditions and traffic signals, leading to dangerous situations on the road.

In contrast, maintaining a constant speed, always using turn signals, and keeping both hands on the wheel indicate responsible driving behaviors that are more associated with experienced drivers. These practices help ensure safety for the driver and others on the road, making them less common among young distracted drivers who may prioritize their distractions over vehicle control and adherence to road rules.
