| Abstract | Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for 15 to 20 year olds (based on 1992 figures, which are the latest mortality data currently available from the National Center for Health Statistics). In 1995, a total of 6,220 persons 15 to 20 years old were killed in traffic crashes, of which 3,351 were drivers. An additional 361,000 15- to 20-year-old drivers were injured in motor vehicle crashes. While young drivers make up only 6.7 percent of all drivers, in 1995, 14 percent (7,993) of all the drivers involved in fatal crashes (56,155) were young drivers 15 to 20 years old, and 17 percent (2,030,000) of all the drivers involved in police-reported crashes (11,782,000) were young drivers.
