ROCK SPRINGS (WNE)
- A study shows Wyoming is the worst state for teen drivers, receiving the
poorest ranking out of all 50 states.
WalletHub analyzed
the teen driving environment in each of the 50 states using 23 metrics, ranging
from the number of teen driver fatalities to average cost of car repairs to
presence of impaired-driving laws.
Not only did
Wyoming rank at the bottom overall, but also had poor rankings in the following
categories:
Most teen driver
fatalities per teen population, ranked 50th;
Most teen DUIs per
teen population, ranked 47th, and
Highest insurance
premium increase after adding a teen driver to a policy, ranked 46th.
Motor-vehicle
accidents continue to be the leading cause of death among the population aged
16 to 19, which also happens to be the age group with the highest risk of
crashes, according to WalletHub.
