So teen drivers will be banned from using mobile phones in California.
Personally, I think it would save a ton more lives if there was a rule prohibiting more than two under-18 year olds from being in a car alone without a 25 year old present. You can still go on dates, you can still carpool a bit....but I certainly remember all the stupid things we did in cars. Most of them were in bigger groups, when everyone's having a good time, there's peer pressure to show off, and general teenage stupidity....:-)
I wonder if statistically speaking most accidents in the 16-18 crowd happen with more than two people in the car.
