In teenagers, this tendency seems equal and tied right next to it comes the factor of drinking, which also affects the levels of daring in teenagers and increases the possibility that teenagers who drive big cars like trucks, or SUV´s, and thus feel less in danger and exposed, and who are also prone to drunk-driving, will not use their seatbelts while driving.
