Montana is Most Dangerous State for Teen Drivers

According to a recent study, Montana ranked last when it comes to safety for teenage drivers.

All of the wide open spaces in the Treasure State could be a factor in the low ranking. In bigger cities, with a stop light at every intersection, drivers are used to stop-and-go traffic. That's not the case in most of Montana.
