Today's drivers in the 16-21 age group: have “twice as. many accidents as all other drivers, and kill 50 per cent more people. They kill 11 times more people than the safest drivers, the 45 - ‘50 year olds, The situation “could blow up in our faces” as the bumper crops of war and post-war babies reach driving age.
