New York City has decided to change the way they license young people to drive. From now on, teen drivers in the city will be required to log 50 hours of practice with an adult in the car before they can receive their junior license. The change is part of a move toward the graduated license program that has been proven to drop by 38% the number of deadly crashes involving 16 year olds. This should help increase the availability of cheap car insurance for teens, as well.

17 year old drivers with their junior license will not be allowed to drive with more than one teenage friend in the vehicle. They are also banned from driving between 9 pm and 5 am. Studies have shown that teens with multiple friends in the car tend to become more distracted when driving.

Why Are Teens Crashing?

While the biggest reason that teen drivers are so dangerous on the road is merely lack of experience, it’s just one part of why young drivers crash more. In 2008 in New York, nearly 14,000 accidents involved 16-17year old drivers. That’s a much higher number than adults who had been driving for at least 2-5 years.
