The survey, designed and conducted by TRU for Allstate Insurance, found 34 percent of teens report being frightened as a passenger because a teen driver was being careless but didn't say anything to the driver. More than two-thirds of teens asked said they want their friends to avoid technology distractions such as text messaging, talking on a cell phone and scrolling through an MP3 player while driving.

However, 57 percent of the respondents admitted to speeding, 22 percent have raced another vehicle, 19 percent have received a traffic ticket and 18 percent admitted to being a passenger in a car driven by a teen under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

"These are alarming results considering every year for the past decade between 5,000 and 6,000 teenagers were killed in motor vehicle accidents," Victoria Dinges of Allstate said in a statement.

The survey of 917 teens ages 16 to 18 was conducted Dec. 7-14 and has a margin of error of 3.3 percentage points.
