Teens seem to think they re better drivers than they are.
They think youth is an important factor that somehow makes them better drivers than their elders. But that simply isn t true. Car crashes are the No. 1 killer of teens. Indiana teens make up only 6.1 percent of Indiana s licensed drivers but they account for 14.3 percent of total drivers involved in accidents. In Indiana, the percentage of traffic fatalities involving teens is well above the national average 18.4 percent in Indiana vs. 11.8 percent for the U.S. average.
