Abstract:Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for 15 to 20 year olds (based on 1991 figures, which are the latest mortality data currently available from the National Center for Health Statistics). In 1994, an estimated 3,446 drivers 15 to 20 years old were killed, and an additional 330,000 were injured, in motor vehicle crashes. While young drivers make up only 6.7 percent of all drivers, in 1994, 14 percent (7,957) of all the drivers involved in fatal crashes (57,512) were young drivers 15 to 20 years old, and 16 percent (1,859,000) of all the drivers involved in police-reported crashes (11,421,000).
