Teen Driving
Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for 15- to 20- year olds. The Mid-Atlantic Foundation for Safety and Education has made teen driving and the risks associated with it a priority. The Foundation is emphasizing and increasing its efforts in educating high school students and parents about the risks associated with teen driving and the consequences associated with those risks.
Senior Driving
Experts predict that 37 million Americans will be age 65 or older by the year 2020 and at least 90 percent of them will be licensed to drive. More than 202,000 seniors were involved in crashes in 2006, according to statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). With the exception of teenagers, older Americans have the highest crash death rate per mile driven.
