    Teen drivers generally tend to be irresponsible and easily distracted, thus resulting in them making wrong moves. Many teen drivers have been seen talking on the phone or texting when driving. These tendencies have led to an enormous number of accidents, causing injuries, fatalities and skyrocketing insurance rates.

    Some major causes for distractions while driving:

    * Drinking & Eating
    * Emotional State of the Driver
    * Using the Cell Phone
    * Talking to Friend/ Friends in the Car
    * Listening to Music
    As a new driver, you will be unskilled at handling unexpected problems. So, make sure you attend any of the various defensive driving courses across the country.

    Just out of curiosity, how does this correlate with Driver Health?

    In that case, it's time to start threads on not drinking poison, as that's healthy too. hehe :biggrin_25523:

    The OP was advertising, subtly with his signature. Trying to fly under the radar with "helpful" threads. I have shown them the door, but will leave the information here for discussion.

    I reread it also. I guess it can be healthy advice.

    I wouldn't be putting mismatched tires on my truck though. Especially if there is a noticeably different circumference due to tread. Winter is the one time you lock your rear end in more than normal and you want exactly the same size tires or you'll tear your driveline up. It'll also cause the rear end to want to sway/drift. Not the best ride.
