For teens it's even worse. Studies show that when a teen/young driver is alone in the car, their accident rate is average. But as you add friends into the car, the chance of an accident jumps dramatically. So if you have a new driver in your house, forbid them from driving anyone anywhere, seriously.

I'd have to say blasting music is still safer than anything that takes your eyes off the road repeatedly like texting messages would. As long as the person blasting the music is watching his mirrors and is aware of surrounding vehicles and traffic conditions and watching for any oncoming emergency vehicles I don't see where that's even in the same league as this.
But you do make a solid point or two.
