" 1. Bigger is Better  &amp;quot;Small cars don&amp;#039;t provide the same crash protection,&amp;quot; says Anne McCartt, senior vice president for research at the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. &amp;quot;Have teens drive a midsize or larger.&amp;quot; But not pickups or SUVs. &amp;quot;They&amp;#039;re harder to handle and have more of a tendency to roll over.&amp;quot;   2. Out with the Old If your teen drives a hand-me-down instead of the &amp;quot;good&amp;quot; car, reverse course. &amp;quot;The newer the car, the more likely it is to have up-to-date safety features,&amp;quot; says McCartt.   3.
