Drivers should not be influenced by friends or peer groups when driving and should make their own decisions in regard to driving habits.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Sometimes
• D. Not sure

Answer: (A)

Staying safe behind the wheel depends on exercising personal responsibility and resisting peer pressure. Friends or groups can push you toward risky choices like speeding, unsafe stunts, or riding with someone who is impaired. The best approach is to set and follow your own safe rules—drive within the speed limit, wear your seat belt, avoid distractions, and refuse rides with someone who is impaired or who is driving recklessly. By making your own decisions, you reduce crash risk and stay in line with traffic laws, even when others pressure you to do otherwise. It’s common to feel pressure, but the safe, responsible choice is to prioritize safety and act independently of peer influence.
