In previous posts we discussed several Daytona Beach area car accidents involving young drivers, including the recent Ormond Beach accident that killed an art student. A common thread in these accidents involving teens and young adults appears to be driver error.
A recently published study in the journal Accident Analysis and Prevention confirms that inexperience and not drunk driving or recklessness is the most common cause of teen car accidents.

Car crashes are the number one cause of teen deaths in the United States, and 31 percent of teen drivers involved in fatal crashes were drinking alcohol at the time of their death , according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Despite decades of activism, teen drunk driving is still a big problem. So what can be done to help solve it?
Teen drivers may not be of legal drinking age, but that doesn't stop them from accessing alcoholic beverages. According to recent statistics from Students Against Drunk Driving (SADD), 72 percent of students have consumed alcohol by the end of high school, and the rate of binge drinking among those teens is as high as 17.4 percent. Some teens pay people they don't know to purchase alcohol for them, while others get it from unrelated adults or even from their parents, guardians or other adult family members.
Teen alcohol use often starts at a younger age than adults realize. One in three eighth graders drinks alcohol, and according to Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), kids who start drinking young are seven times more likely to be in an alcohol-related crash.
