1. Teen drivers: Drivers between the ages of 15 and 19 are involved in a disproportionately high number of fatal crashes. This is due to a variety of factors, including inexperience, risky driving behaviors, and lack of judgment.
2. Older drivers: Drivers over the age of 65 are also more likely to be involved in fatal crashes. This is due to a variety of factors, including declining vision and reaction times, chronic health conditions, and medication side effects.
3. Drunk drivers: Alcohol is a major contributing factor in fatal crashes. Even a small amount of alcohol can impair judgment and reaction times, increasing the risk of a crash.
4. Speeding drivers: Driving at excessive speeds increases the risk of a crash, both because it reduces the driver's time to react to hazards and because it makes it more difficult to control the vehicle.
5. Distracted drivers: Distractions, such as cell phone use, texting, eating, or talking to passengers, can take the driver's attention away from the road and increase the risk of a crash.
6. Drivers who drive drowsy: Drowsy driving can impair judgment, reaction times, and coordination, all of which can increase the risk of a crash.
