Does anyone know how often accidents occur for teen drivers (under any circumstances like texting, speeding, etc.)?

Is it more like every 30 secs or 60 secs or what? This is for a project and i can t seem to find any facts on just teen drivers. It would also be great if you could leave a link :)

One in four teens has a serious accident within the first year of driving. General inexperience and a lot showing off to friends and over confidence.

i disagree because most of the time teens get into car accidents because of being inexperienced such as making unsafe lane changes and following too close a car.

The FARS database has some info like that for the US, grouped by age etc.
