Drive ~ ~ ~ ~ FACT S~IEET: 2005 (For PTA Program) DEATH OF A TEENAGER Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for teenagers, resulting in thousands of fatalities nationwide per year. In fact, teenagers are involved in three times as many fatal crashes as other drivers, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration: ~ 14% of all deaths due to motor vehicle crashes aze teenagers. ~ Motor vehicle-related injuries are the biggest health threat to teenagers in the United States, accounting for two out of five deaths among teens ages 16 to 19. In 2004, 16-20 year olds were involved in 1,622,000 vehicle crashes, or 4,444 crashes each day and 185 each and every hour and more than 3 crashes every minute. r~ Most teenage deaths due to motor vehicle crashes occur on weekends 53% of the time. ~ Teen drivers killed in motor vehicle, crashes had a youth passenger in automobile 45% of the time. Motorcyclist fatalities for tho~.yrider 20 rose 9% in 2004 over the previous year. .r The risk of crash involvement per mile driveri among 16-19 year olds is 4 times the risk among older drivers. Risk is litghest at age 16. The crash rate per mile driven is almost 3 times as high among 16 yeaz-olds as it is among 18-19 year~lds. .r Driving statistics for troth genders confiim 16 grid 17 year olds to be high-risk drivers. Nearly 2 out of 3 teenagers age 16-20 killed in a passenger occupant vehicle were not wearing seat belts. In 2004, there were 8,566- fatalities in crashes involving young people in this age group. r- That comes to 23 fatalities each and every day among 16-20 year olds: r By the year 20IQ there will be 26.7 million more 16-ZO year-olds on the road than today. The 16-year-old population alone will increase to over 4 million. \VHl DOTHI?Y DIE'' ? Crash rates are high larrgely because of young drivers' immaturity combined with driving inexperience. ? That immaturity is apparent in young drivers' risky driving practices such as speeding and tailgating. ? Teenagers' lack of experience behind the wheel makes it difficult for them to recognize and respond to hazards. ® They get in trouble trying to handle unusual driving situal.ions, even small emergencies. ? Crashes involving young drivers typically are single-vehicle crashes, primarily run-off-the- road crashes, which involve driver error and/or speeding. ? Of teen drivers fatally injured irr automobiles, more than l/3 were speed-related accidents. 1 Teens and Driving Page 2 oC 1 D~tl15 in P Vehicles Per 100,000 People, 2001 25 AAaleDritreis Male Passergas FerttaleDrivers --fir- F~ePtgets 15 10 5 <13 13 14 15 16 YT 18 19 20-~ ~,r-293ofi46Cr74 z75 ~'4~'HEN THEI' DiE ? 53% of teenage-motor vehicle deaths occur on,Friday, Saturday, axd Sunday. ? 43% of teenage motor vehicle deaths occur between 9 pm and 6 am. DYING TOGETHER Teenage driving is a dangerous proposition; with fatal collisions the leading-cause of death in 15-19 year olds. But. getting teens;togetAer in a car multiplies the risk: If a 16-year-old driver brings along a friend, the death sate-rises by nearly 40%. if another joins them, the rate rises by 85%. If there are 4 in the car, the rates soar to 182% over driving alone. (By contrast, with adults, the rate goes down with added passengers.) %~r Sources: • http://www.drivehomesafc.com/teen_driving_fatality_infonnation_start~age.htm • h[tp://www.buckleupamerica.org/nmay05/fact_sheet.php • http://wwwsaferoads.org/issues/fs-GDL.h[m • http://www-nrd.nhtsa.dot.gov/departments/nrd-30/ncsa/ • http://www.cde.gov/ncipe/pub-res/unintentional_activity/2004/O)_TcznDtivers.htm • U.S. Dept. of Transportation; National Highway Traffic Safely Administration ® 2005 Moorshire Group. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. www.moorshirc.com We were provided a breakdown ofwhat the estimate funding was for Hawaii. The following is the breakdown of national figures (in million of dollars) and Hawaii's allocation: PROGRAM NATIONAL HAWAII Section 402 (basic safety) $217 $1.030 Section 405 (occupant protection) $25 $0.175 Section 406 (occupant protection Incentive) $124.5 $1.550 Section 408 (data) $34.5 $0.300 Section 410 (alcohol incentive) $120 $0.570 Section 2010 (motorcycle incentive) $fi $0.100 Section 2011 (child passenger safety) $fi $0.007 TOTAL $533 $3.732 Section 2011 has only $7,000 listed and Region 9 believes that will grow but they are not awaze to what extent at this time. There is also talk about a mobilization grant that is not presently listed; however, there is confusion as to what itrs intended for (national media) or enforcement similar to 157 (b) funding for the CIOT campaign. [t was emphasized that these were estimates and that it is Western Region's best guess at this time. The downside of the new funding is that they no longer provided monies under 157(a) and 157 (b) which accounted for $1,237,170 in the FFY 2005 budget.
