What percentage best describes the share of vehicles older than six years in fatal crashes with young drivers?

• A. 40%
• B. 60%
• C. 82%
• D. 70%

Answer: (C)

Vehicles that are older than six years are linked with higher risk in crashes involving young drivers. About 82% of these fatal crashes involve a vehicle in that older category, which is roughly four out of five cases. This large share suggests that older cars, which may lack newer safety features and could have more maintenance issues, contribute significantly to the danger faced by young drivers. The other options—being much lower than 82%—would understate how common it is for older vehicles to appear in these fatal crashes. So the best description is about 82%.
