(HealthDayNews) -- Despite what your kids think, getting a driver's license doesn't really change their lives.
According to the Journal of Public Health Policy, researchers compared how teens spent their time in Delaware and Connecticut (license at age 16) with teens in New Jersey (license at age 17).
They found no significant difference in the way teens divided their time between study, work and recreation. Even the types of recreation -- movies, parties, telephone time -- remained about the same.
