LA Teen Drivers Among Nation’s Worst

The Bayou state finds itself ranked near the the bottom of another list. We already know car insurance premiums in our state are among the country's highest. That's a clear indication that we have a lot of unsafe drivers. The apple apparently doesn't fall far from the tree. A recently published survey by carinsurance.com ranks Louisiana's teen drivers as the third most dangerous in the nation. The report goes on to say 9 percent of teen drivers drink and drive. Nearly half (49%) text while driving despite public awareness campaigns, and the fact that texting while driving is illegal in Louisiana.
