Parents - in addition to the the first 12 months of solo driving being the most dangerous for teen drivers, the first 100 days of summer are the most dangerous of the dangerous time for teen drivers. Sixteen-year-old drivers have higher crash rates than drivers of any other age. The crash rate per mile driven is twice as high for 16-year-old drivers as it is for drivers ages 18 and 19 and three times that of drivers 20 y/o and older.
