| Consider these sobering statistics:
- Nearly 80 out of 100 new drivers get into a crash within the
first three years of learning to drive.
- 16-year-olds are 20 times more likely than an adult to die in
an automobile crash, and 3 times more likely than an 18 or 19 year old.
- Every single day, 19 people 15 to 20 years old are
killed and over 1,800 are injured in vehicle crashes.
- For every traffic violation on a parent's record there is a
13% increase in their teen's violations.
- For every million miles driven, teens are involved in four
times as many wrecks as all other drivers combined.
- Cars with two or more teens are four times
more likely to crash than those with single drivers.
