and quadruples when three or more are under 21. it's a matter of focus and concentration. the more young people in the car, the more distracted an inexperienced driver becomes and the result often proves deadly. julie and lowell gardner know the payin. their son died five years ago. they started a scholarship program in his memory, their hope to get teens to think about the dangers they face behind the wheel and spare other families their sorrow. it never gets easier, this helps but it lives with you every day it's there everyday. there are days where you're fine but there are days where i'll be riding down the road and i will just break down. it's like he's right there. he's always with me, he's always on my shoulder. >> the domino effect hits every person in your family, it just
