Teens are the riskiest drivers yet own the least safe vehicles — and choosing a safer car comes down to 2 main factors

Teenagers drive the least safe vehicles despite being the riskiest drivers on the road, according to a new study from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

Nearly two-thirds of teens killed behind the wheel from 2013 to 2017 were driving cars six to 15 years old, the study found. With little experience in the driver's seat, it's not particularly surprising that teens make up the riskiest driving demographic — they crash four times more often than adult drivers relative to how many miles they drive, despite spending less time on the road.

More than 25% of teens killed behind the wheel between 2013 and 2017 were driving small, mini, or micro cars, while close to two-thirds were driving vehicles six to 15 years old, the study found. On the other hand, less than 4% of 15-to-17-year-old drivers killed during that period were in a vehicle less than three years old.

Small vehicles, even relatively new ones, have much higher driver-fatality rates than larger ones, another recentfound. Their lower mass makes them fare badly in collisions with large vehicles, and their shorter front ends provide less driver protection.
