areas such as coaching and novice driving practices, parental supervision, error detection, peer interactions, adolescent decision making, and the development of incentives to foster safe driving skills.  The social context of teen driving that influences cognitive development and the acquisition of driving expertise was also identified as an important sphere that has received little attention
