Allstate says more than 5-thousand teens a year are killed in car crashes. I am told that 77 percent of those accidents are caused by driver error. So this morning Allstate put teen drivers through a test.

The teenagers drove around cones while talking on their cell phones, texting, and listening to the radio. Many of the teens struggled to complete simple task like turning.

This obstacle course changed the perspective of many of the teenagers. One teen told me he now realizes the damage he can cause if the texting and driving.
