thousands, even with all the knowledge and warnings , stupid people still drink and drive!
The number of teenagers that die each year from traffic accidents is > 5000. About one quarter of those will be legally drunk. In 2005, twelve teens ages 16 to 19 died every day from motor vehicle injuries. 31 percent of teen drivers killed in 2006 had been drinking, according to NHTSA. 25 percent had a blood alcohol concentration of .08 or higher.
Estimates of the number of deaths resulting from alcohol poisoning among college students vary widely. The number who die in alcohol-related traffic accidents is not separated from the number of all persons under the age of 21 who die in that manner.
That is a subject of considerable controversy.

The Elderly cause more accidents related to health problems, over age 80- 3% of the total.But drunk and/or inexperienced drivers aged 16-19 cause more accidents - 6.5% of the total.I would say that teens have accidents more. Sorry teens!

Auto insurance for teenagers cost more because driving ability is typically judged under how long you have been driving. Teens are new drivers and are more likely to be involved in accidents than older more experienced drivers on the roads.
more than 50% of teens get drunk because of no reason!
There are far too many teenagers involved in drinking-related accidents on Prom night. Teens should refrain from drinking and, if they do drink, should not get behind the wheel of a car.
