How different is the risk taking and cell phone using behavior
for teenage drivers versus drivers in general? Or knowing someone
you would be afraid to ride with due to dangerous driving?

While teenagers likely do have a higher tendency to take stupid
risks (made worse by lack of experience), there are also plenty of
non-teenage drivers who take stupid risks and/or never seem to have
learned anything by experience (e.g. the driver whose car has the
front end smashed in who still tailgates).
