We celebrate GOOD DRIVING and PREPARATION. It is a good idea to get this idea: THERE ARE NO ACCIDENTS. There are CAR CRASHES. We are either anticipating problems or we are distracted.

STATISTICS

Motor vehicle crashes (MVCs) are the leading cause of death for U.S. teens. In 2017, six teens died every day from injuries suffered during MVCs.

MORE TEEN DRIVER STATISTICS

  • The risk of motor vehicle crashes is higher among 16-to 19-year-olds than among any other age group.
  • The overwhelming majority (75 percent) of serious teen driver crashes are due to "critical errors," with the three common errors accounting for nearly half of these crashes: lack of scanning that is needed to detect and respond to hazards, going too fast for road conditions, and being distracted by something inside or outside of the vehicle.
  • In 2017, the percentage of crash fatalities involving drivers ages 15 to 20 in US states ranged from a low of 4.7 percent in Hawaii to a high of 18.1 percent in Rhode Island. The national average is 12.8 percent. 








STATISTICS

Approximately one-third (31 percent) of 16- and 17-year-old drivers in the U.S. involved in fatal crashes from 2009 to 2014 crashed between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m. Among these drivers, 57 percent -- or more than 1,000 youths -- crashed before midnight, according to the Centers for Disease Control.

MORE NIGHT DRIVING STATISTICS

  • The fatal crash rate of 16-year-olds is nearly twice as high at night.
  • States with nighttime restrictions in place have reported up to a 60 percent reduction in crashes during the restricted hours.
  • Only 14 percent of the miles driven by 16- to 17-year-old drivers occur between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m., yet this time period accounts for 32 percent of fatal crashes in this age group.
  • Among teen nighttime crashes, 57 percent happen between 9 p.m. and midnight.
