When are crash rates for teens increased?

Nighttime driving is when teens are most at risk because limited visibility makes it harder to spot hazards, and inexperience compounds slow recognition and reaction times in the dark. The combination of dim light, glare from headlights, and the tendency for riskier situations after dark leads to higher crash rates for teen drivers. While having passengers or driving in bad weather can raise risk too, the peak danger for teens occurs at night.
