easy they are spoiled, they don't need to worry much about things since they are taken care of by their parents. if they had to worry about living, working etc they would not do that. |

I just started driving I think it's scary and I still don't understand how someone can drive like that now when the taxes and bills and jail time has sky rocketed. |

I wonder if it is because often the car is their transportation to and from their source of fun, maybe not. I didn't drive until after I was marrried; so, I was never in this position. The way today's gas prices are I would think it would temper anyone's cruising habits. |

Becuz driving is fun. And also old people have been doing it for a long time so they might not see it as fun, but teeenages are just starting so they get really excited.
But safety is the most important thing :] |

All teens are different. So are their parents. Its part nurture; part nature. We have two teens. One we trust becuase he is fearful of death and injury. The other is oblivious to consequences and would be more likely to play with the car. Its one of life's mysteries.
I know adults who look at cars as fun; but they find better and safer ways to play. Auto-cross, track racing. Great fun, and less danger to the general public, and a bit more expensive. Some kids never grow up all the way (thankfully!) |

for teenagers, it's a piece of freedom. the thrill of having that freedom can cause them to abuse it or see it as a god given right, not a privelage. |

Two words, adrenaline rush.
You shouldn't limit this to teens they just get blamed for it because "most" of them have not had any real training as to how to control a vehicle. I see plenty of people of all ages driving fast but just because you drive fast doesn't make it unsafe. If your doing it in a 88 nissan sentra of course its stupid but then again those cars are always unsafe so it cant be limited to speed but also how well you take care of your vehicle, what your driving, and what you're capable of.
In all honestly I am a fast driver and I love the feeling of going through the twisty mountain corners quickly on a warm summer night its complete ecstasy! I also maintain my car very well and don't haul *** in heavily populated areas. I personally have had track time and know the limits of myself and my car. I believe every driver should have to do this too.
Driving fast can be safe, look at the autobahn in Germany. They have far fewer accidents then we do on our California interstate because they train their drivers, maintain their roads, don't drive fast in economy cars, and have an infrastructure thats conducive to driving.
If we just had a free or cheap resource for people to be able to get out their fast driving then this kind of stuff would happen WAY less. Racetracks are expensive; public roads are not.
Many people drive quite poorly but don't classify all fast drivers with them please. Driving is fun and entire communities of people have been built around driving fast.
You have never had any fun in a go kart or driving fast? |

Unlike prevailing assumptions about why young people engage in risky behavior, the research seems to argue that it is not because teenagers feel invulnerable or underestimate the risks, but because they have misplaced priorities.
In other words, teens aren’t necessarily being irrational when they do dumb things, they just tend to have a short-term outlook on life and an immature hierarchy of values. It’s not just a brain thing, it’s a heart thing, because your actions reveal who and what you’re living for.
Another interesting aspect of the study is its recommendation against giving teenagers more information or more detailed information about the dangers of risk-filled activities, arguing that more education is not likely to result in any significant decrease of risky behavior.

Because finally for once, they are in control of something that is dangerous/useful/fun. Also the thrill of speeding is fun because it is something that they are not supposed to be doing and it gets their adrenaline pumping. They can get just about anywhere they want with very little effort. I'm not driving yet but I am a teenager and I understand the thrill of it. Hope this helped ya! |

I believe it is stupid as well - people at my high school do that all the time as they drive away, and I just roll my eyes. Some people will always be immature.
I am 16, and scared to drive - I always make mistakes. Driving is no fun for me! |

Because it's new to them and its alittle more freedom. When i first got my car. i was never home. we would go out for drives and try to get lost. gas was also 99 cents in 1995. so it made it alittle easier. Once you grow up then it turns into a means of transportation. Untill then it's just a fun new thing. |

Because it's a form of freedom.
Think back to when you were restrained with rules to follow. Didn't a part of you want to have some sort of freedom? Driving would be a form for some teens. |

us young people you refer to drive like this because we are enjoying are new found freedom, and i am sure you did the same thing when you were young |

i think it is because they love the feeling that they're doing the wrong actions. and maybe the speed of the car and being with friends. peer presure may also come into this. being labbelled "cool" by their friends by driving recklessly. |
