Inexperienced motor vehicle driving habits are the leading cause of accidents in the United States 10/20/2009CS410 Green Team 5

How Bad Is It? “Teenage driver accidents are so common that they are now considered to be the leading cause of death among teenagers (boys and girls between the ages of 15 and 19)” - National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) 10/20/2009CS410 Green Team 6
