The
Overall Traffic Problem: Traffic Safety
Young
Drivers
Young drivers are
most at risk of being in a collision and they die
at higher rates than any other age group. While 15-to-20
year olds represent 8.4 percent of the U.S. population
and 6.3 percent of licensed drivers, they accounted
for 13.6 percent of the drivers involved in fatal
motor vehicle crashes. Speeding is many times associated
with young drivers. By far the majority of collisions
involving speed are by younger drivers (see table
below).
