they didn’t wear seat belts and were thrown
from their vehicles.

5. Research shows that the most
dangerous time for new drivers to be
on the road is:
a.
When passing on the right, you’re not easily
seen by the driver of the car you’re passing.
That driver could start changing lanes
before realizing you’re there.
Watch out for irresponsible drivers who try
to beat a red light. It only takes a couple
seconds to make sure opposing traffic
has stopped.
A 16-year-old driver is 86% more likely
to die in a crash when driving with two
passengers than when driving alone and
182% more likely to die when carrying
three passengers. The rate for 17-year-olds
is even higher.
Drivers ages 16 and 17 accumulate 14%
of their miles — but 39% of their fatal
crashes — between 9 p.m. and 6:00 a.m.
