Young drivers
In 2023 in the UK around one in 5 of all killed or seriously injured casualties from collisions involving cars were in collisions involving a young car driver (Department for Transport, 2024).
In the age group 17-24 young male car drivers are 4 times more likely to be killed or seriously injured compared to all car drivers aged over 25 (Department for Transport, 2024)
The most common contributory factor in this group of vulnerable road users is "driver failed to look properly"
Other factors are:
"loss of control", exceeding the speed limit" and "learner or inexperienced driver"
(Department for Transport, 2024)
