Young drivers are nearly four times more likely to be involved in a fatal traffic crash than their older counterparts, but a new GHSA report finds that the crash and fatality rates for drivers under 21 have improved drastically over the past two decades – more so than for other drivers. The report, Young Drivers and Traffic Fatalities: 20 Years of Progress on the Road to Zero, includes an analysis of Fatality Analysis Reporting System data for 2002-2021, identifies the policies and programs responsible for the gains in teen driver safety and makes recommendations for building upon that success.
