New information has been released on the safety of teen driving in New Jersey, and every parent should know about it.

There is nothing more precious to New Jersey parents than the safety of their children. So, when driving age comes around, tensions are at an all-time high for Moms and Dads.

Recently, the well-respected website WalletHub compiled comprehensive data to determine which states are the safest for teen drivers.

These are numbers all New Jersey parents need to be aware of. So, how did New Jersey do in the report?

After considering categories like driving laws, economic environment, and safety, you'll be happy to know that the Garden State ranks among the best states in the nation for teen driving safety.

Parents will love to hear that New Jersey is ranked as the third safest state in America for teen driving safety. We'd love to be #1, but placing third is impressive.

The strongest category for the Garden State in this study was the general "safety" category, and we ranked #1 in that area. We are the 17^th highest state in the "economic environment" category and #14 in "driving laws."

The only states in America that provide a safer environment for teen drivers than New Jersey are Oregon (#2) and, surprisingly, New York is #1.

So, even though we know you won't sleep completely peacefully when the kids are out with the car, at least you can breathe a sigh of relief that the kids are driving in one of the safest teen driving states in America.
