The Safest Cars for New Drivers

When you hear the term “new drivers,” teenagers probably jump to mind. And it’s true. With most states issuing driver’s licenses to 16-year-olds, a large majority of new drivers are teenagers. What’s also true is that drivers between the ages of 16 and 19 are more likely to get into an accident than drivers in any other age range. So, when you’re buying a car for the new driver in your family, be sure to make the safe pick.

In addition to being one of the safest cars on the road, the Civic is the perfect choice for both parents and new teen drivers.
