Question

i just need statisticks involving teenage drunk driving....from atleast 2004 to 2007 anytime in between there, and the link u found it at, i googled it and looked at every website i can't find it

Answer 1

Do you need statistics for teenagers who were driving drunk and involved in a fatal crash OR for teenagers who died due to another person driving drunk? Do you only want fatalities or do you want to include accidents? Would you want to know the number of arrests for drunk driving? If you are really into statistics then you will want to know how many teenagers had driving licenses during that period and how many of them drank alcohol while driving.

According to this website:
http://www.firsteagle.com/tdd.htm
One out of 10 children ages 12 and 13 uses alcohol at least once a month.
In a single year, 522 children under age 14 were arrested for driving while intoxicated, (113 of them were under 10 years old).
70 percent of all teenagers drink alcohol.
60 percent of all teen deaths in car accidents are alcohol-related.

Also be careful whose statistics you use, for example,
the Michigan Beer & Wine Wholesalers association paints a rosy picture:
Much progress has been made over the last two decades to reduce problems associated with alcohol abuse. Since 1982, drunk driving fatalities have declined 37%, teenage drunk driving fatalities have fallen 62% and underage drinking has been reduced by 53%.* These gains have been the result of changing societal attitudes about responsible alcohol consumption, thanks to the educational programs of government, community based programs and the beverage alcohol industry.

The website from Loyola University gives good statistics for alcohol and non-alcohol driving fatalities but categorizes them by ethnic group rather than age.

What you really need are actuarial tables. Those are the statistics tha insurance companies use.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of the U.S. Department of Transportation
http://www.alcoholstats.com/mm/docs/1906.pdf
In 2004 there were 1,536 teenage fatalities from drunk driving down from 4,214 in 1982.. So I wonder if the emergency medical ACLS procedures got better to save the life of drunk teenagers so they did not die, or if acrually fewer teens were driving drunk. I wonder how many drivers there were in 1982, how many accidents and how many fatalities. That is why it is important to weigh the statistics carefully.

This is a little better......According to Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) National Center for Statistics and Analysis.....
There were 196.2 million licensed drivers in the United States in 2003 (2004 data not available). Young drivers, between the ages of 15 and 20, accounted for 6.3 percent (12.4 million) of the total, a 7.2 percent increase from the 11.6 million young drivers in 1993. In 2004, 7,898 15- to 20-year-old drivers were involved in fatal crashes — a 1-percent decrease from 7,968 involved in 1994. Driver fatalities for this age group increased by 5 percent between 1994 and 2004. For young males, driver fatalities rose by 1 percent, compared with a 15-percent increase for young females (Table 1). Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for 15- to 20-yearolds (based on 2002 figures, which are the latest mortality data currently available from the National Center for Health Statistics). In 2004, 3,620 drivers age 15 to 20 were killed, and an additional 303,000 injured, in motor vehicle crashes.

MADD uses FARS statistics by the way. So, I guess in answer to your question, the most current statistics you are likely to find is 2004 the data from 2006 are not available. Sorry. Hopefully, I have given you enough information so that you can write something useful.

Answer 2

Are you looking for teenagers that died in a certian state? A country? The world? I suggest going to ".gov" sites of whatever area you're interested in and searching "drunk driving" or something to the effect. You might also want to try Googling again with less specific keywords (like "Drunk Driving Statistics")

Answer 3

I went to the MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) website and searched their site for the word "statistics" and found this page:

Answer 4

Call the federal hwy administration on its 800 number in Wash D.C to find out
