ABSTRACT
A driver’s performance depends on a variety of issues, including stress level, mental status, anger, concentration, fatigue, drowsiness, use of drugs and alcohol, attentiveness to the road, and weather and road conditions. Passengers who choose to ride with an impaired driver are putting themselves at risk. Motor vehicle crashes are the number one cause of death in youths. Therefore, it is important that peer helpers know about the issue in order to plan prevention and intervention strategies for their peers.
