Distracted driving causes 4,000 teen deaths every year, so Allstate Insurance is holding workshops where teens can drive with instructors on a closed course to feel firsthand how difficult it can be to drive while texting, eating, messing with the radio, or dealing with rowdy passengers. Allstate's national Action Against Distraction Challenge made its final stop in Las Vegas Tuesday after a 42-city tour.
