The odds of a young driver being in a car accident are higher than more experienced drivers. Part of it comes down to the fact that the more experience one has, the less likely they are to make mistakes.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) statistics below show a teen’s thoughts on distracted driving, and the dangers they can bring to the roadways if their perspective does not change.
