Teen girls catching up with boys as reckless drivers

Teen girls catching up with boys as reckless drivers

 

For decades, auto insurance premiums for teenage boys have been higher than rates for girls because boys were more likely to be involved in serious accidents.  They were statistically more reckless than girls.  Unfortunately, the girls are catching up. 

In a new report (Allstate Foundation’s State of Teen Driving Report), teen girls were found to be even more reckless than boys in several categories.  They were more likely to speed more than 10 mph over the limit.  They were more likely to use a cell phone to talk, text, or email while driving.  They were more likely to adjust music selection or volume while driving.  They were even slightly more likely than boys to drive aggressively. 

These findings are not good news for parents of teenage girls.  Expect more traffic related injuries and higher premiums in the future.
