Teenagers are the most dangerous drivers on the road. There is a way to keep teen drivers safer on the roads. Don't give teens a car they consider their own. Teenagers who reported that they were the main person driving a vehicle, rather than sharing it with other family members, were more than twice as likely to be involved in a recent crash. One in four drivers with primary access to a car had had an accident while driving in the past year, compared with 1 in 10 for shared access. That means 25 percent of the kids driving their "own" cars had at least one accident in the past year! Don't be afraid to set rules for safe driving behavior, and yank the keys if those rules aren't followed. In fact, making your teenager say, "Mom, can I have the car keys?" may be one of the simplest and best ways to keep your child safe.
