Big news today regarding teenage drivers: Those who share a car are less likely to crash than teens who own their own car. In this study, 10% of teens who share a car were involved in crashes, whereas 25% of teens who own their own car were involved in a crash.

It seems to me that if you own your own car, you’re more likely to be driving more often. If you’re sharing a car, your time behind the wheel would be more limited. The study doesn’t mention time behind the wheel, but as a teen who had his own car, I can safely say I would go out of my way to find reasons to drive. More time = more opportunities to crash. DUH.
