Sarah Hyatt The Chronicle

Even with cars that can vir- tually park themselves nowa- days, there’s still no technologi- cal advancement like one’s wits that can prevent someone from crashing into a guardrail. Chances are if you’re a young Canadian driver that guardrail and you could have an unex- pected lunch date sometime soon. Each year over 5,000 teens ages 16 to 24 die in car crashes according to Statistics Canada. About 400,000 teens are seri- ously injured. For each mile a teen drives they’re about four times more likely than other drivers to crash. Studies show teen drivers tend to underes- timate dangerous road condi- tions too. What’s more, along with the lowest seat belt use rate, teens are also more likely to speed and tailgate.
