Teenage drivers have a greater crash risk than experienced adults. Community and legislative outreach techniques have tried to decrease this risk, but were left with mixed results.
Over the past decade, the number of teens in the U.S. killed driving smaller, older vehicles has stayed almost unchanged, according to an Insurance Institute for Highway Safety study.
During the years 2013 through 2017, over a quarter of teenage drivers killed in crashes were driving mini, micro or small cars. Almost two-thirds were behind the wheel of 6-15-year old vehicles which indicates nearly no change when you compare it with 2008 through 2012. In both time periods, adults fatally injured crashed in larger, newer vehicles a lot more frequently than teenagers.

- Fitness and commuter bikes increased by 66%
- Children’s bikes increased by 59%
- Leisure bikes increased by 121%
- Electric bikes increased by 85%

Without effective communication with school buses, minor incidents can escalate quickly. Creating connected school buses can help to eliminate many of the common communication concerns that make minor issues far more complex.
