In addition to improper use of safety seats, teen drivers also pose a significant safety risk. According to data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), car accidents are the number one cause of death among teenagers. In 2015, the death toll among teens between the ages of 13 to 19 was 2,715. This includes both pedestrian and bicycle incidents and equals more than 7 deaths per day. According to additional data from NHTSA, passengers traveling with young drivers accounted for 975 fatalities, while occupants in other vehicles accounted for 1,320. Additionally, non-occupant fatalities caused by teen driving totaled 521.
