✦ Synopsis

I\bstraet

-ln 1978, passenger vehicle drivers 16 and 17 years old were in crashes that resulted in 419s deaths. Motor vehicles account for nearly half the deaths of lb-19 year olds in the C.S. Teenage drivers contribute substantially to motor vehicle related deaths, both their own and others. Teenage drivers have greatly elevated rates of fatal crash involvement per capita and especially, per licensed driver. More deaths per licensed driver are associated with the passenger vehicle crashes of 18 year olds than for any other age. Deaths per licensed driver are next highest for 16, I7 and I9 year olds. Various possible uays to reduce the deaths that result from teenagers driving are discussed.
