2000 Ohio Crashes by Age and Gender

Accident data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) finds that when it comes to driving, 16-year-old girls are becoming almost as bad as 16-year-old boys. Teenage girls are driving more and the youngest drivers are involved in an increasing number of accidents. As a result, insurance companies have started closing the gap on the rates changed for teenage girl and teenage boy drivers.
