Description Video Trailer Funding Partners   What really happens when teens get behind the wheel on a Friday or Saturday night?  In Teens: Behind the Wheel, you'll witness firsthand the hazards of the teen driving environment when independently controlled cameras are installed into the cars of 10 newly licensed drivers for 6 months.   What really happens when teens get behind the wheel on a Friday or Saturday night? Or when their friends join them in the car? Find out why the teen driving environment is often so dangerous when CPTV takes an unprecedented look at what actually happens when newly licensed teenagers drive in Teens Behind the Wheel. For the production, six boys and four girls from Greater Hartford, all of who had just earned their driver’s licenses, agreed to have video cameras mounted to the windshields of their cars for six months. The palm-sized cameras had one lens aimed at the road and another lens pointed at the driver. Any sudden change in the vehicle’s movement triggered the camera to record 20 seconds of footage, starting a few seconds before the incident actually occurred. The 4- by 6-inch cameras were installed by Drivecam, a California-based company. During the production, the cameras recorded numerous crashes and traffic violations. However, the cameras were not intended to catch kids behaving badly, but to give viewers an accurate idea of what happens in and around a teenager’s car during the first six months of driving, Boyd said.
