Driving is inherently risky, but for teens the risk of being in a car crash during the first year of driving is higher than any other point in their lives. The National Safety Council reports that one in five 16-year-old drivers experience a collision in their first year of driving. In 2003, 6,002 teen drivers were involved in fatal crashes. Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for American teenagers.
