The insurances companies have collected the data. We need to use that data.

No night driving for young teens.
Limit the passengers in a car with a teen driver.
Limit activities of drivers to driving. (this should apply to all drivers especially teens)
No eating/drinking/smoking
applying make-up
cell phone usage of any kind while the vehicle is in motion.

Both hands on the steering wheel.
Passenger and driver using seat belts.
Pets in proper restraints

Answer 2

Teen death and injury comes from basic inexperience and poor attitudes and a lack of knowing how to handle a vehicle in all conditions. They see moves in the movies and don't realize that stunt drivers use prepared stunt vehicles fulll of safety gear and roll cages....and computer enhanced final photography to get the stunt. The kids redo a car with loony stuff and have no idea of the changes and what it does to the engineering of a car. Poor attitudes and disregard of the limits posted by law is another issue. Driving is an adult, mature job---requires complete attention and education. The laws are there for everyone--don't speed simply means don't speed---drive carefully means drive carefully--no cell phone use means NO cell phone use. No drinking and driving means NO drinking and driving---NO is NO---there is no cure for stupid. A new driver needs to restrict his experience to understanding the vehicle to be driven--local laws about when they can drive---no friends in the car goofing around. Laws do not stop a poor driver with a poor attitude. There are just as many stupid adults driving who disregard the laws too. If kids could see what I see every night at work, they may have a different attitude. I pick kids up dead and gravely injured every day---but poor johnny just can't be shown anything to prove a point. Mommy and daddy want to protect their little angel......and when they have to bury little johnny, it is everyone elses fault !! What a world.

Answer 3

All wrong answers. The right answer is because big city people can get to a Level 1 Trauma center quickly thereby saving their lives. In the big empty spaces of the West by the time help got to you and you got to a good hospital you may very well be dead already. I used to live in northern AZ and it was entirely possible to be well over 100 miles from the nearest hospital and much more than that to the nearest Level 1 Trauma center. To that disturbing statistic add the fact that you have areas where cellphones don't work , that the weather is not always good for flying rescue helicopters and an accident that you would easily survive in my native NYC would kill you in Wyoming.

Answer 4

solutions amount teen deaths fatalities caused motor vehicle crashes

Answer 5

I think we need to stop being namby-pamby about it, and make it mandatory before a teenager gets his driver's licence to go to a morgue and be shown the smashed mutilated remains of teenagers who have died in a car wreck. Aaaaall the lecturing in the world ain't working. It's time for shock tactics. A good, short sharp real-life look at what's left of the body after a serious wreck. I do believe that would save a heck of a lot of 'em.

Answer 6

Driver training in the US is a joke (I assume you're talking about the US). Until authorities start to take it seriously and enact laws mandating some "real" training, it won't get any better.

Answer 7

Stop giving cars to teenagers. 6,000 are killed each year.

Answer 8

dont let teenagers drive.... that is the only way to solve it for sure.

Answer 9

BETTER AND LONGER DRIVERS EDUCATION TRAINING ALONG WITH MORE PARENT INVOLVEMENT.

Answer 10

get rid of teen agers.
