In 2008 in Indiana, this age group represented 9 percent of the population, 6 percent of licensed drivers, and 17 percent of drivers involved in collisions. This factsheet provides an overview of young driver involvement in collisions in Indiana in 2008, including rates of involvement, contributing factors, restraint and alcohol use, and county comparisons.
