Auto insurance rates in Georgia are based on statistics. According to statistics show that teens have more incident of crashes. Young drivers have very high rates of both nonfatal and fatal crashes compared with drivers of other ages.
There are newer approaches now such as Canada’s graduated driver licensing that are being enacted to try to reduce teenage crashes and the injuries and deaths they cause.
Teens have more crashes in vehicles whether the rates are based on the total number of teenagers, on miles driven or on the number with licenses. Both miles driven per license holder and license rates are lower among 16-19 year-olds than among drivers age twenty and older (as a group), so when crash involvement is based on the number of licensed motorists instead of total population, the fatality rate of young drivers is even more extreme compared with mature drivers.
