Putting aside the fact that teenagers are semi-brainless fools* who shouldn't be allowed to drive at all, the fact remains that children are still routinely being granted the right to be behind the wheel. Heaven help us. While this monumental lapse of judgment remains the law of the land, here are the states where teenagers fare best (and worst), according to WalletHub. 

The rankings are affected by Safety Conditions, Economic Environment (how much it costs to buy and maintain a safe car), and Driving Laws (how many drunks are on the road, how many teens allowed in a car at once, etc.). With these three factors taken together, the overall rankings are as follows:
Safest

1. Massachusetts
2. Oregon
3. New York
4. Hawaii
5. Ohio
6. Connecticut
7. Delaware
8. Illinois
9. Rhode Island
10. Nevada

Most Dangerous:

1. South Dakota
2. Montana
3. North Dakota
4. Wyoming
5. Missouri
6. Nebraska
7. Oklahoma
8. Mississippi
9. Maine
10. Idaho

Unsurprisingly, these lists look at lot like other overall best and worst (or deadliest and least-deadliest, safest and most-dangerous, etc.) lists for drivers, with the top states being heavily populated and wealthier, while the more-dangerous states are sparsely populated and poor (i.e., who has public transportation and who doesn't). Stats in lists like these typicially line up pretty well with per-capita car ownership, but apparently that's not much of a hot headline, so we get these lists instead.

*Just kidding, teenagers; I love you. But you still shouldn't be allowed to drive.
