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.

That Affect Auto Insurance: Age and Its Impact.”

The number of drivers age 65 or older
has been increasing steadily, along with the number of miles
they drive. This group also has more accidents per mile than
any other age group except young drivers. Older drivers also
experience more traffic violations per mile driven than any
other age group.
