It should come to no surprise that teenage drivers drive better when their parents are in the car.

The National Institutes of Health and the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute used cameras and sensor to observe teenage drivers while driving alone, with friends and with their parents. They tracked accidents and near accidents and also measured risky driving procedures including:

• Accelerating rapidly
  
• Breaking hard
  
• Making hard turns

What they found was that teenager drivers had 75% fewer near crashes and their risky driving behaviors fell 67% when their parents were in the car.

When teenagers drove with other teenagers in the vehicle, they had as many near crashes as when they were driving alone. However, their risky driving behaviors were 18% less frequent than when the teenager drove alone.

Driving Behaviors Over Time
The study found that teenager drivers continued risky driving behavior even as they gained experience behind the wheel. The study found calculated the crashes and near crashes per kilometer driven and found that teens averaged 10 per 16,000 kilometers during the 18 months of the study while the parents averaged 2.

Graduated Licensing in Washington State
Washington state, like many states, has a graduated driver's license for teenage drivers. For the first 6 months after a teen obtains their driver's license, they cannot drive with passengers under the age of 20 unless the passenger is a family member. For the next six months, they are not allowed to carry more than 3 passengers who are under the age of 20 that are not family members.

The graduated driver license also prohibits driving between 1am and 5am unless with a driver age 25 or older. Teens are also prohibited from using a wireless device including hands-free cell phones.

Joseph Brynda, 20, was sentenced to serve 7 years in prison for the pedestrian accident death of Phillip Rangel, 60, who was killed while walking in a crosswalk in 2009. According to testimony, Brynda was texting and driving with his knees when he hit and killed Rangel.

The Cook County, Illinois, jury heard that Brynda was also driving under the influence of marijuana and freon when the pedestrian accident occurred.

The Chicago Sun-Times reported that Brynda had a history of driving offenses. According to their report, Brynda had eight previous driving offenses ranging from failing to yield to emergency vehicles, speeding, disobeying traffic signals. He had also previously been involved in an injury accident.

Everyone knows that texting while driving is illegal yet there are so many instances of people who have been killed because of texting drivers.

It is not uncommon for a a driver who was texting while driving to also be under the influence of alcohol or drugs as in this case. People who engage in high risk activities such as drinking and driving will often engage in other high-risk activities such as speeding, flagrantly disobeying traffic laws and texting.

In April of this year, Danae Marie Miller, a 22-year-old California woman, was charged with vehicular manslaughter when she hit and killed bicyclist Armine Britel, 40. Like Brynda, Miller was texting when the bicycle-car accident occurred and she was under the influence. Like Brynda, Miller had a history of numerous traffic citations including one for using a cell phone while driving.

Studies show that texting while driving delays a driver's response time by 35% and increases the probably of an accident 23 times. Combine texting with driving and alcohol or drugs and you are an accident waiting to happen.

Plainly stated, texting while driving puts anyone who uses the road — drivers, walkers and bicyclists — at risk.

If you or a loved one has been seriously injured in a car crash, or a loved one killed, and someone else was texting or driving drunk, you may be able to file a civil suit in King County, Washington seeking compensation for your damages.

A Washington State Patrol media release says King County troopers are enforcing the cell phone ban by stopping and ticketing drivers.

According to the WSP, last month, troopers stopped 370 drivers for using a hand-held cell phone and 43 drivers for texting while driving. More than one half of the drivers were issued a ticket which will cost them $124 for using a hand-held device while driving.

Washington state vehicle code RCW 46.61.667 is the statute that prohibits a motorist from driving while talking on a cell phone. Vehicle code 46.61.668 prohibits reading, writing or sending a text message while driving.

Washington's cell phone ban was effective as of July 1, 2008. The legislature enacted the cell phone laws after the Highway Loss Data Institute cited studies that texting while driving may increase the risk of a car accident by 23 times.

The Washington State Department of Transportation has found that emphasis patrols, whether they are targeting drunken drivers, seat belt violators or cell phone users saves lives.

Speeding is a huge factor in traffic accidents and speeding was the leading contributing cause for car accidents in Washington State. In 2009, there were 8,744 traffic accidents in King County alone where speeding was a contributing factor.

Speeding can be deadly because it increases a driver's stopping distance, reduces maneuverability around curves and increases the distance a driver travels when reacting to situations such as cars stopping ahead of them. Speeding is also associated with other risky behaviors such as drinking and driving, aggressive driving and distracted driving.

The Washington Traffic Safety Commission has been working on changing driver behavior in an effort to reduce traffic accidents. To that end, they helped fund King County Target Zero Task Force which provided extra law enforcement patrols that specifically targeted speeding drivers.

The Seattle PI.com reports that between July 15 and August 7, the emphasis patrols wrote 1,245 speeding tickets and also made three DUI arrests, three felony arrests, four aggressive driving violations, 15 cell phone citations, six seat belt tickets, 50 uninsured motorist tickets and 15 suspended/revoked license violations.

AAA reports that the most dangerous days for teenage drivers fall between Memorial Day and Labor Day. AAA says that 7,300 teenage drivers and their passengers, ages 13-19, were killed in traffic accidents between Memorial Day and Labor Day in the years 2005-2009.

The AAA gives the following advice to parents of teenage drivers:

• Limit your teen's driving to "essential" trips during their first year of driving.
  
• Continue practicing driving with your teen and coaching them even after they get their license.
  
• Limit the number of passengers your teen can drive. Parents should also restrict their teen from riding as a passenger with a teenage driver.
  
• Restrict night driving.
  
• Be clear about driving rules by using a driving agreement.

Washington state has a graduated or intermediate driver's license which has proven to prevent teenage car accident deaths. The intermediate driver's sets for the following restriction on the license:

• Passengers - Prohibits driving with passengers under the age of 20, unless they are immediate family, for the first six months. For the following six months, teens are not allowed to drive with more than 3 passengers under the age of 20 that are not family members.
  
• Night Time Driving: Teens are prohibited from driving between 1am-5am unless with an adult 25 years of age or older.
  
• Cell Phones: Talking of texting on a cell phone is strictly prohibited even with a hands-free device.

The Wenatchee World reports that Gunnar Karl Doggett, 16, of Twisp, is charged with Vehicular Homicide in the Winthrop-area car accident that killed Seattle music director George Shangrow.

Shangrow was killed on July 31 as he drove to the Methow Valley Music Festival where he was to lecture. Shangrow was headed east when Doggett crossed the centerline and hit his vehicle head-on. Shangrow apparently had tried to avoid the accident by breaking and moving right. Doggett, however, did not appear to brake.

Police believe that Doggett was distracted at the time of the accident because he was on his cell phone. Police found Doggett's cell phone open and believe it was in use when the car accident occurred.

Vehicular Homicide, RCW 46.61.520, can be charged if a person is killed in a motor vehicle accident and the driver was driving without regard for the safety of others.

Washington state vehicle code RCW 46.61.667 prohibits using a cellphone while driving. The law was enacted in June 2010. Teenagers are strictly prohibited from using cellphones while driving even if they are hands-free.

Distracted driving is a serious problem on our roadways. Distracted driving can include using a cell phone, reading a map, changing a radio station, eating or any other activity where one takes their eyes and focus off of the road even for a split second.

A17-year-old Snohomish girl may have been responsible for a head-on Highway 9 car accident near Cathcart on Thursday night due to the negligent use of her cell phone.

The Herald Net of Everett reports the teenager was driving on Highway 9 -- the Snohomish-Woodinville Highway -- when she crossed the highway centerline near 168th Street SE and hit a Mercedes driven by a 55-year-old Snohomish woman, head-on.

Both drivers were taken to the hospital with minor injuries.

Washington State vehicle code RCW 46.61.667 "Using a Wireless Communications Device While Driving" prohibits motorists from using a hand-held cell phone while driving. RCW 46.61.668 "Sending, Reading, or Writing a Text Message While Driving" prohibits a motorist from sending, reading or writing a text message while driving. Both offenses are considered primary offenses.

Teenage drivers are strictly prohibited from using a cell phone while driving.

A small girl was killed in a horrible Bellingham pedestrian accident around 2:40pm on Thursday as she was walked in a crosswalk with her mother and her two siblings, ages 5 and 8.

The Seattle PI.com reports that the mother of the toddler was walking her children home from school when a car stopped to let the pedestrians cross. According to the report, a second vehicle driven by a teenage girl rear ended the stopped car, pushing it forward, killing the toddler and injuring her mother.

The small child was killed at the pedestrian accident scene. Her mother was taken to St. Joseph Hospital for treatment of undisclosed injuries.

The teenage girl driving the second vehicle was arrested for investigation of Vehicular Homicide. She was distracted in the rear-end accident and police are trying to determine whether she was using a cell phone at the time. To hit the first car with such force, the teenager driver may have been speeding as well.

Washington State vehicle code RCW 46.61.520 -- Vehicular Homicide -- provides that a driver can be charged with Vehicular Homicide if a person dies as a result of the negligent operation of a motor vehicle. This includes driving recklessly, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs or driving without regard for the safety of others.

At least one study found that using a cell phone while driving is equivalent to driving while intoxicated. The study, "Human Factors: The Journal of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society" found that drivers who were using cell phones braked more slowly and were more likely to be involved in a motor vehicle accident.

At the same time that a Distracted Driving Summit is being held in Washington, the actions of a school bus driver who was caught on camera text messaging while driving a busload of students came to light.

Students in the Broward School District in Florida took photos of their bus driver and sent them to the local TV station.

One parent said she had called the school district to report the texting driver but said the district did not call her back. One of the children said, "I'm shocked. It's so irresponsible and negligent."

A member of the School Board said that a driver caught using a cell phone is suspended for five days and is terminated on the second offense. The report said, however, that the driver cannot be suspended without the approval of the school board.

It seems like the school board should have a rule that any driver caught texting or using a cell phone while driving is immediately dismissed.

Washington State has two laws which regulate using a wireless communication device while driving:

RCW 46.61.667 USING A WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS DEVICE WHILE DRIVING
RCW 46.61.668 SENDING, READING, OR WRITING A TEXT MESSAGE WHILE DRIVING

If a commercial driver is involved in a motor vehicle accident due to distracted driving, the driver may be found criminally negligent. Any injured parties could file a civil suit seeking damages from both the driver and the company that he or she works for if it is known that the company ignored previous complaints.

The Seattle Times reports that Kenneth Laymon, 45, was using his cell phone to send and receive calls right before the accident in Alabama on March 26 that killed Laymon and 10 members of a Mennonite sect that were traveling together to attend a wedding.

According to the report, Laymon was also driving more than 70 mph when he lost control of his tractor-trailer rig, crossed the center line and hit a van carrying the 10 people he killed.

Studies show that when a driver looks at a cell phone or map while driving, they are taking their eyes off of the forward roadway for 4-5 seconds. When driving at speeds of 70mph or more, the vehicle can travel a considerable distance in those 4-5 seconds, thus greatly increasing the chances of an accident like this. It is critically important that motorists keep their eyes on the forward roadway for everyone's safety.

Patrick Franklin, 40, of Bellevue, was critically injured in a highway shoulder accident on Sunday. He was taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle with life-threatening injuries.

According to the report by King5.com, Franklin had run out of gas and had pulled his pickup truck off of the Interstate 5 and onto the shoulder in SeaTac and was filling the tank when a 24-year-old Auburn man drifted off of the roadway and hit him with his minivan.

The Washington State Patrol have charged the Auburn man with Vehicular Assault, believing him to be under the influence of alcohol at the time of the accident. They also think he may have been distracted due to the use of a cell phone.

There have been several devastating highway shoulder accidents in the Seattle-metro area during the past week or so. Annually, there are about 2,000 fatal highway shoulder accidents. If at all possible, motorists should try to maneuver their car completely off of the highway even if it means ruining a tire or rim in the case of a flat tire.
