Older Teens At Higher Risk of Driver Crashes

According to a new report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS),  the rate of teen driver-involved crashes has declined significantly over the last decade. But there is still significant work to be done. A fresh look at FARS' 10 years of data shows the improvements in teen-involved fatal crash rates have not been as dramatic for older teens (ages 18-20) as compared to their younger counterparts (ages 15-17), and teen drivers are still 1.6 times more likely to be involved in a crash than adults.
