These Digital Natives, kids who have grown up with smartphones since birth, are entering the ranks of automobile operators with distractions built into their lives and social fabric. Getting information to teens that can help them develop good habits at this age is crucial.

TEENS ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES DRIVING DISTRACTED.
Connected adults of all ages are becoming more and more entranced with their smartphones, and more accustomed to the information overload that comes with them.  They think they can multitask – but they can't.

The more you try to do at one time, the higher your chance of failing. And driving a one ton vehicle is a task you don't want to fail.
