Driver’s ed crash stats stump lawmakers

45518696STAFF REPORTS
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) – Indiana lawmakers say they are puzzled by a study that shows teenagers who take driver’s education classes are more likely to crash than those who do not take the classes.

The Indiana BMV released the study that it says shows current drivers under 18 who took driver’s ed had nearly four times the crashes than those without the training.

Some lawmakers say it might be time for an overhaul. The state’s drivers ed program has not changed in the past 30 years.

But the BMV says the numbers might be skewed by the fact that teens with driver’s ed get their permits earlier and have more time on the road.
