Which option lists two indicators of safe driving practices for teens and explains why they are important for health and safety?

• A. Wearing seat belts and avoiding mobile phone use; to reduce injuries and save lives.
• B. Wearing seat belts; that’s enough to protect you.
• C. Avoiding mobile phone use; it’s not necessary to wear seat belts.
• D. Speeding and listening to music.

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that teen safe driving hinges on practices that prevent injury and protect health by both restraining the driver and minimizing distractions. Wearing seat belts keeps occupants secured in the event of a crash, greatly reducing the chance of serious injury or death, while avoiding mobile phone use reduces driver distraction, giving more time to react and follow traffic signals. Together, these two practices address two of the most effective ways to stay safe on the road. The other options either ignore one of these protective practices, imply that seat belts aren’t necessary, or promote risky behavior like speeding, which increases crash risk.
