Which Generation Has the Worst Drivers? 

Auto insurance rates are significantly influenced by age, as premiums can decrease by up to 9% once a driver reaches 20 years old, according to The Zebra. The National Safety Council (NSC) reveals that drivers aged 16-19, although comprising less than 4% of licensed drivers, are responsible for over 9% of all accidents and 6.3% of fatal incidents, emphasizing the impact of experience on driving behavior. Additionally, age plays a role in driving habits, with younger generations, like Gen Z and millennials, reporting higher frustration levels and a greater tendency towards aggressive driving and road rage. In contrast, Gen X and baby boomers exhibit more positive driving behaviors, such as using seatbelts, yielding to pedestrians, and avoiding distractions.
