Teen drivers rise as car ownership grows by 1970

A survey by an insurance company finds good students who acquire cars show the steepest grade decline. The longer a student owns a car, the greater the drop in grades and the more likely they are to suffer academic decline.

Parental Control Key to Teenage Driving Problems

A study finds that junior year scholastic decline rises with car ownership and work. Students with cars and jobs earn fewer A or B grades than those without. Increased car use correlates with lower grades, and promising a car often backfires on parents. The research emphasizes parental control as the crucial factor in teen driving issues.
