  • Traffic fatalities have been gradually declining nationwide, but teen drivers continue to face outsize risks of fatal crashes. According to the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA), young drivers are nearly four times more likely to be involved in fatal traffic crashes than older drivers.

The article from ConsumerAffairs discusses a study by the insurance company QuoteWizard which analyzed data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to identify states with the worst teen drivers. The study found that South Dakota, North Dakota, and Wyoming top the list for having the highest rates of teen driving fatalities. Factors contributing to these high rates include rural environments with higher speed limits, less stringent graduated driver licensing (GDL) laws, and a higher incidence of driving under the influence among teens. The article highlights that while these states have the worst records, teen driving fatalities are a national concern, with distractions like cell phones, inexperience, and risky behavior being common issues. It also notes that states with more comprehensive GDL laws tend to have lower teen crash rates, suggesting that stricter regulations could help mitigate the problem.
