A.
Female driving
B.
Late-night driving
C.

D.
Sleep deprivation
ANS: C
The risk for motor vehicle accidents is greater among adolescents than for any other age group. Factors associated with this include the inability to assess hazardous situations while driving, speeding, driving under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol, and a low compliance with seat-belt use. Females are actually less likely to be in a motor vehicle crash than males. Late-night driving does not appear to increase risk. Although teens are often sleep deprived, this does not appear to be related.
