✦ Synopsis

Teenagers far exceed all other ages in fatalities per capitu both as dri\ers and a~ passengers in motor vehicles. IMost studies of vehicle crashes involving teenagers focus on tecnJge drivers. despite the fact that the numbers of teeriage deaths as passengers and as drivers are about equal. In 1978. 63% of all fatally injured teenage passengers sustained their injuries in vehicles driven by teenage drivers: 7% of the passengers fatally injured in vehicles driven by teenage drivers were teenagers. Half of the teenage passenger deaths occurred in nighttime crashes. Possible ways to reduce the crash deaths of teenagers are discussed. These include restricting the driving of teenagers; prohibiting teenage drivers from transporting teenage passengers; greater implementation of crash packaging technologies; cleaning up highway and roadside hazards. and laws requiring seat belt use by teenagers.
