  1. well I can give u a lil bit of info that most of ur teen accidents happen when they r 16-17 cause there not mature enough and their head strong and so their not more councious of there surroundings so they r more likely to get into wrecks and most of ur wrecks that happen with teens are normally ur 16-17 year olds


  2. MARCH 2008

    Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death among 15- to 20-year olds.

    According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, 3,490 drivers in this age group died in motor vehicle crashes in 2006 and an additional 272,000 were injured.

    Drivers age 15- to 20-years old accounted for 12.9 percent of all the drivers involved in fatal crashes and 16 percent of all the drivers involved in police-reported crashes.

    Twenty-five percent of teen drivers killed were intoxicated. In 2002 (latest data available) the estimated economic cost of police-reported crashes involving drivers between the ages of 15 and 20 was $40.8 billion, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA, http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov ).

    Among licensed drivers, young people between the ages of 15 and 20 have the highest rate of fatal crashes relative to other age groups, including the elderly. In fact, the risk of being involved in a fatal crash for teens is three times greater than for drivers age 65 to 69.

    Immaturity and lack of driving experience are the two main factors leading to the high crash rate among teens
