Studies show that if their are more passengers in your vehicle at a time, you are more likely to get into an accident. Do you think that this is true or do you think you can drive the same with any amount of people in your vehicle?

of course it is true. driving with a cell phone is likely to cause an accident so more people in the car of course could cause an accident. I can drive with a few people in the car and not lose concentration unless there messin with the radio, then that not only makes me mad but then i lose concentration. but in most cases this is true.

I believe that this is true. Each one in the car with you offers some degree of distraction. The more distraction you have, the more your attention in driving is diminished. Hence, the higher the risk of meeting an accident.

I suppose it could be true for some people, but it doesn't apply to everyone. I am always carful regardless of there are passengers with me or not.

I believe that if you are a good driver, and have respectful normal passengers, then you will drive the same. But if you have a bunch of wild kids in the car, you are more likely to crash. THANKS!

If you are a new driver, the answer is yes. Remember there are blind spots we have to look out for when driving, accidents happen all the time, when it is needed to listen and/ or hear a siren of say an ambulance, police car or fire truck it's very necessary to hear them or you'll have another nasty accident. Having to many people or even people who are too loud can be a distraction all together. I very much believe that this can be true.
