What is the percentage of teenagers causing car accidents?

The percentage of teenage drivers involved in car accidents varies depending on location, time period, and other factors. According to a report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in the United States, teenage drivers between the ages of 16 and 19 were involved in approximately 7.1% of all fatal crashes in 2021. This percentage was slightly higher compared to 2020 when teenagers were involved in about 7% of fatal crashes. However, it's important to note that these statistics represent a small portion of overall car accidents, and many teenage drivers operate safely.
