• According to the Virginia Online Injury Reporting System, http://www.vahealth.org/Injury/voirs/index.htm, motor

vehicle injuries account for more years of productive life lost by students than all other causes

of death. In addition, hospitalization and rehabilitation costs, lost time from school, and other costs associated with long-term injuries

create substantial emotional, physical, and financial problems for families, schools, and the community.

The social costs of these senseless tragedies are immeasurable.

The heart of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA's) mission is keeping families safe on America’s roadways. Young drivers, ages 15- to

20-years old, are especially vulnerable to death and injury on our roadways – traffic crashes are the leading cause of death for teenagers in America. Mile for mile, teenagers are involved in 3 times as many fatal crashes

as all other drivers.

Leading Cause of Death for Teens

Crashes of Beginning Drivers

Crashes of Beginning Drivers are Different

Teen drivers have the highest crash risk of any age group. Per mile traveled, teens have the highest involvement rates in

crashes, from crashes involving property damage only to those that are fatal.

The problem is worst among 16-year-olds, who have the most limited driving experience and an immaturity that often results in risk-taking behind the wheel.

In Virginia, 1 of 5 studentscrash within months of receiving their driver's license!

Facts About Teen CrashesFacts About Teen Crashes

Department of Education 2006

Characteristics of Young Drivers’ Copy these Notes

1. Driver error: Compared with crashes of older drivers, those of 16-year-olds more often involve driver error.

2. Speeding: 16-year-old drivers have a higher rate of crashes in which excessive speed is a factor.

3. Single-vehicle crashes: More of 16-year-olds’ fatal crashes involve only the teen’s vehicle. Typically these are high-speed crashes in which the driver lost control.

4. Passengers: 16 year-olds’ fatal crashes are more likely to occur when other teenagers are in the car. The risk increases with every additional passenger.

Characteristics of Young Drivers’ Copy these Notes

5. Alcohol: Although this is a problem among drivers of all ages, it’s actually less of a problem for 16-year-olds. Typically, less than 15 percent of fatally injured 16-year-old drivers have blood alcohol concentrations of .08 grams per deciliter or greater. However, alcohol quickly becomes a problem in the later teen years.

6. Night driving: This is a high-risk activity for beginners. Per mile driven, the nighttime fatal crash rate for 16-year-olds is about twice as high as during the day.

7. Low belt use: Teenagers generally are less likely than adults to use safety belts.
