Teen drivers are safer in the Mid-Atlantic states than in the Midwest, according to an analysis by CarInsurance.com.
The website analyzed the number of teen driver fatalities per capita, the strength of each state’s Graduated Driving License (GDL) laws, teen drinking and driving rates, teen emailing/texting and driving rates and average annual insurance costs for teen drivers.
In 2015, 2,898 teens’ passenger vehicle drivers were involved in fatal vehicle crashes nationwide, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). While that represents a slight uptick from the prior year, teen drivers are much safer than they were in the 1970s, when they were involved in close to 10,000 crashes a year.
CarInsurance.com found that states with strong GDL laws, which limit young drivers, tended to be safest for teens. Strengthening laws in states where they are weak would save lives, IIHS said.
No matter where teens live, they are considered among the highest risk drivers on the road, because of their inexperience. That makes them very expensive to ensure. However, many insurance companies offer discounts to for students with good grades. Check out these other car insurance discounts you should ask about, and remember that many factors, including your credit score, can impact your auto insurance rates. (Your score can also affect your auto loan rate. Check two of your credit scores free on Credit.com.)
