In fatal crashes involving young drivers, what percentage of the vehicles driven are 10 years old or older?

• A. 30%
• B. 60%
• C. 50%
• D. 40%

Answer: (C)

In fatal crashes involving young drivers, about half of the vehicles are ten years old or older. This indicates that a substantial portion of teen crash situations involve older cars, which often lack some of the latest safety features and may have more wear or maintenance concerns. The key takeaway is that roughly 50% of the vehicles in these incidents are 10+ years old, so the age of the car is a notable factor to consider when thinking about teen driving safety. The other percentages would imply noticeably more or fewer older vehicles, which isn’t what the data shows.
