How Does North Dakota Fare For Teen Age Drivers?
Well, hopefully this doesn't tip off how old I am, but I have a question
Did you take driver's education in high school? That's what we had when I was in school, and for some crazy reason, I missed out on it. Long story short, my dad wound up hiring someone ( I have no clue what the company was ), and this man showed up at my door ready to put me behind the wheel - his name was Elmer Fudd - and I am dead serious.
I went on to pass the written and driver's test
Nothing like being handed your learner's permit! So with that, I'm curious, just like everyone else, how do teenagers out here in North Dakota rank - 2025’s Best & Worst States for Teen Drivers. How would you guess WalletHub calculates what puts a teen in either category?
