Why Your Teen’s Hand-Me-Down Car Is Risky

Passing your old car to your teen might seem like a money-saver, but it could be way more dangerous than you think. A new study found teens driving cars older than 15 years have a 31% higher risk of dying in a crash compared to those in newer rides. The big reason? Older cars usually lack life-saving tech like automatic emergency braking and lane assist. If you can, prioritize safety features when picking your teen’s first car—or at least keep that old car in top shape! #TeenDrivers #CarSafety #ParentingTips #RoadSafety #Transportation
