There’s a troubling divide between teens who can afford to get licensed and those who can’t. New research by The Zebra finds that the cost of driving impacts teens from lower income families far more than teens from middle and higher income households. Parents were more sensitive to these costs than teens themselves. That’s likely because parents are the ones stuck with the bill.
Key Findings
1. Low-income teens are far less likely to be licensed drivers than wealthy teens
2. If parents can’t afford it, teens don’t drive
3. Why having a teen driver can double a family’s driving costs
4. How families can reduce the high costs of teen driving
