According to a study conducted by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention in 2009, approximately 8 drivers between the ages of 16 and 19 die every single day due to an automobile crash and drivers between the ages of 16 and 19 are at least 4 times more likely to cause a car crash than drivers from any other age group. Since young drivers tend to be unsafe, their insurance rates tend to be very high, which is unfortunate since many of them can’t afford to pay so much, given the pressures of minimum wage jobs and /or their academics. They can however, ask their insurance company if they are eligible for any discounts; many companies offer discounts to students who complete a defensive driver’s course or excel academically.
