A poll for people with driver's licenses

Results | Messages
I heard that there was a study that found that a police officer patrolling alone, with no one else in the car but them, is more likely to make a good decision in an emergency than a police officer patrolling with another officer in the car with them. I was wondering if this could also apply to regular drivers. This poll is meant to discover how the quality of driving changes from when one is a student driver, who always has a parent or adult in the car with them, to when one is an independent driver.
