Unfortunately, many of these cases are seriously tragic, resulting in permanent injuries, traumatic brain injury, or death.

Unfortunately, a teenager just hasn’t developed an appreciation for the danger of their actions and what the lifelong consequences can be.

NEW LAWS FOR TEEN DRIVERS

In recent years, new laws have been passed in Minnesota to address the issue of reckless teenage drivers. One example is Vanessa’s Law, named after a teenage girl killed as a passenger in a car driven by another teenager. More recently, the requirement for hours of supervised driving before getting a vehicle license has been increased for teen drivers. The MN Department of Public Safety has an entertaining video explaining the new laws. You can check it out by clicking here. However, despite the good intention of these laws, tragic car accidents involving a teenage driver continue to happen.

Hopefully these new laws will eventually have an effect and make teenager car accidents less frequent. These cases are sad and life altering.
