Teens are not "fully baked." Due to inexperience, immaturity and common behaviors, they represent the highest risk of any group of drivers. Teens are almost guaranteed to be involved in a car crash within the first 90 days on the road.

Experience is the key factor. Also there is a positive correlation between 'responsibility' and age. Generally speaking younger drivers are less mature (rational) than older driver. Check your rate at http://www.insurancenavy.com to see the companies that still take young drivers at great prices.

Generally speaking the answer is NO. Commercial auto insurance is more expensive that personal auto insurance because of the (1) frequency of using the auto- more often in commercial, (2) Commercial auto can cause more damage in accidents, and (3) bigger lawsuits are more evident in accidents involving commercial autos. There are very few exceptions. For example, a personal auto carried by a 16 year driver living in an urban area with few violations and a certain amount of liability limits can be more expensive than a commercial auto policy for a 35 years old suburban driver, with clean record, for comparable liability limits.
