Young Drivers Crash More Than Older Motorists

 
Younger drivers are two times as likely to be involved in a traffic accident, compared to motorists aged 55-64.  Statistics also indicate that young driver crashes tend to be more deadly.
 
About 14 percent of drivers under age 24 are involved in a traffic accident each year.  By comparison, only 6 percent of 55 to 64 year olds are involved in a roadway crash annually.
 
Also 16 to 24 year old drivers have a greater involvement in fatal accidents than most other age groups.
 
A younger person who is the principal driver of a motor vehicle typically pays 40 to 200 percent more for auto insurance than older drivers.  This surcharge is reduced as the driver grows older and is generally discontinued by insurance companies at or before age 25. 
 
Premium surcharges are generally much lower for young drivers who use the family car only on an occasional basis.  These typically range from 20 percent for 24 year olds to 80 percent for 16 year old, but vary from one insurance company to another.

3.  Balance to payroll records and prepare a summary sheet.
 
4.  Calculate uninsured contractor cost.
 
5.  Secure a copy of certificates of insurance.
