• Description:
  Teen drivers have the highest crash risk of any age group. Per mile traveled, they have the highest involvement rates in all types of crashes, from those involving only property damage to those that are fatal. The problem is worst among 16 year-olds, who have the most limited driving experience and an immaturity that often results in risk-taking behind the wheel. The characteristics of 16 year-olds' fatal crashes highlight these problems. This website gives statistical and factual information regarding teenage drivers. It urges parents to insist on a graduated driving plan that allows the teenage driver to gain experience in less dangerous situations before receiving full unrestricted driving privileges.
