The rate of serious crash involvement for 16-year-olds is estimated at 34.5 per million miles driven; 20.2 for 17-year-olds; and 13.8 for 18-year-olds. This compares with 7.8 for drivers in their 20s and 3.9 for drivers ages 60 to 69. Clearly, crash rates for teens are much higher than comparable rates for older drivers. Major risk factors for teen drivers have been identified. These include lack of driving experience, licensing at young ages, passengers, night driving, and alcohol.
