A new study from Lending Tree concludes that Gen Z drivers are the worst on the road and people seem to either be delighted or absolutely enraged by this claim. But Lending Tree says it used empirical evidence, not emotional outrage so many seem to fall back onto when declaring which generation is worst at driving, before coming to its conclusion.

A Tesla owner has gained social media fame for making cooking videos in her car.

Among the damning evidence is that Gen Z, which for the study is defined as 18 to 26 years old, had the highest incident rate at 49.07 per 1,000 drivers. Incidents are accidents, DUIs, speeding, and other citations rolled into one figure. There wasn’t even a contest for this dubious award with Millennials coming in second at 25.13. Gen X, Baby Boomers, and the Silent Generation came in at 20.45, 19.44, and 19.05. So much for saying the old people can’t drive.
