Driving While Teen n. an offense said to be committed by teenaged automobile drivers who are pulled over by police for (ostensibly) no reason at all. Also DWT. Editorial Note: This, like the similar term DWB ‘driving while Black,’ is probably a play on DWI ‘driving while intoxicated.’ Another similar term, DWO ‘driving while Oriental’ is a derogatory description of the supposed bad driving habits of Asians.
