I see too many teens driving Subaru WRXs, VW GTIs, and other hot cars. If they crash the car and are lucky enough to survive, the parent buys them another one. oops! What adult buys a car like that for a kid? A wealthy, lazy, irresponsible idiot. What ever happened to instilling values in a kid first?
This article is stating the obvious. Did they need to actually have a study to come up with this conclusion? Take out the teenagers and put 30 something year olds in the same study and you come up with the same result.
Old fashion underwriting sense is all that is needed here. Make a 30 something year old share a car and he/she will have less accidents too, simply because they are not on the road as often.
Did anyone look at the accident rates of the adult that they were sharing the car with vs. the accident rates of parents that do not have to share their car? I bet you would come up with the same result! When exposures go up, so do losses.
So now they have yet another flawed study to make a point that they wish to make for their lobbying efforts.
Wow, to think people actually buy this crap!!
