Historically, teenage boys have a reputation for driving more dangerously than teenage girls. However, a new insurance industry study reveals that teenage girls may be closing the gap.

The Allstate Foundation, which is part of Allstate Corp., released a study reporting that teenage girls admit to speeding, texting and active aggressively behind the wheel more often than their male counterparts.

Distracted driving is a serious concern
on the roadway. Drivers of all ages could easily be distracted if they are sending a text message or not giving their full attention to the road ahead. Teens are just learning how to drive and should be focusing on driving. It is simply not worth the risk of killing yourself or others. Please put your cell phone away until you arrive at your destination.
