"Good Morning America" offered the following "Takeaway" tips for parents:
Leave Friends at Home: Teens often get distracted when their friends are in the back seat.
Not at Night: Teens who are just learning to drive should stay off the road after sundown.
Control is the Key: Parents should have control over the car keys and teens learning to drive should be required to get permission each time they want to use the car.
