The Governors Highway Safety Association and Ford Motor Company Fund released a report in January showing just how much of an impact speeding has on teen driving safety. With
Teens and Speeding: Breaking the Deadly Cycle, Ford Fund and GHSA find that 4,930 teen drivers died between 2015-19 in crashes where speed was a factor.
According to the report, speed was a significant factor in 43 percent of deaths among drivers and passengers aged 13-19 over that span. That’s significantly greater than the percentage among drivers and passengers aged 20 and above. From 2015-19, speed only factored into 30 percent of traffic fatalities among non-teenaged drivers and passengers.
