If you are under 18 years of age, your risk of a fatal crash is about 2 1/2 times that of the "average" driver, and your risk of an injury crash is 3 times higher than that of the average driver.

What if two people backing out of opposite driveways hit each other who's at fault?
Fault can be assigned to one driver, or to both equally, or to both in percentages, depending on the circumstances and the degree to which each driver contributed to the accident. The court will consider prejudicial factors such as whether laws were broken and who could have best avoided the accident. Where a driver broke a traffic law, such as backing all the way across a traffic lane, fault would likely be assigned him. But another principle is that anyone who could have acted, but failed to, to avoid the accident, even if in the right as far as traffic regulations are concerned, will be considered fully or at least substantially at fault.
