Fatal crash involvements for 16-year-olds fell 26 percent from 1993 to 2003 as states began to enact graduated licensing laws. But this has not solved the problem by any means. Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for teenagers. The later they start driving, the better.
We look at this from the standpoint that the more parental involvement the better because too many teens end up driving in risky situations, even with graduated driving laws in many states.
Graduated licensing has been the only thing that has worked.
