According to the article, per mile driven, teen drivers ages 16 to 19 are four times more likely than older drivers to crash.
However, I still hate senior citizen drivers and think they wreak havoc on the roads more so than teens...at least in my own personal experiences.

Nothing pisses me off more than following some old SOB going 10 miles per hour under the speed limit. I don't care who crashes more.
I actually wrote a paper on teen drivers for my English class last semester. More teens die in accidents than seniors, but there are more teen drivers than seniors. But an interesting fact I found was that a teen on a cell phone has a worse reaction time than a 70 year old; reaction time is the main reason people think senior drivers are so bad.
