How to choose a safe used car for your teenage driver
Teenagers are among the riskiest drivers, but they often end up with inexpensive vehicles that don’t offer adequate protection in a crash. If you are considering buying a used car for your young driver, you can get some help from The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), which annually issues a list of recommended used vehicles for teens.
The IIHS said it is applying more stringent criteria to this year’s list, as recent safety improvements have percolated down to lower-cost used cars, SUVs, minivans and pickups.
