I am on a Mission and that is to push for tougher driving laws regarding Teenagers.
Road crashes reported to the South Australian Police are compiled and maintained by Transport SA. They are used to provide statistics to analyse current road safety programs and to assist in developing new road safety initiatives.
The number of young drivers killed or seriously injured in road crashes is a serious problem in all states of Australia. Young people aged 16 to 25 make up 13% of Australia's population but account for nearly 25% of road deaths.

Young drivers exhibit certain attributes that contribute to their higher risk of road crashes. These include: * Lack of experience * Risk taking behaviour * The use of older vehicles with less safety features * Speeding * Peer pressure
Findings * Young drivers aged 16 to 20 had the highest rate of all age groups at 150 casualties per 100,000 population (3 to 4 times higher than some) * Drivers aged 21 to 25 had the second highest rate at 119 casualties per 100,000 population.

Why, when and where did they die?
On average between 1999-2003, for drivers in the 16-25 year age group who were killed or seriously injured: * 38% of drivers who were killed had a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) of .05 or above and 23% of drivers seriously injured recorded a BAC of .05 or above * 13% were not wearing a seat belt * 54% occurred on Friday, Saturday or Sunday * 24% occurred between 4-5pm, 6-8pm or 12-1am * 53% were on country roads and 42% on roads signposted as 100km/h or 110km/h * 63% were male.

What types of cars were involved?
Australian research found: * Young drivers often drive older, cheaper vehicles that are likely to have fewer safety features than newer vehicles * most young drivers involved in fatal crashes were driving fairly ordinary cars * very few were driving high performance vehicles.

Night driving
Young drivers are more likely to drive at night and on weekends than older drivers. * 55% of young drivers aged 16-25 are killed or seriously injured in crashes that occur during the night compared with 37% of other drivers * Nearly 40% of young driver serious casualties occurred on the weekend, compared with 30% for other drivers.

Driving at night has unique hazards and requires more developed skills. All drivers have an elevated crash risk at night. This is greater for younger drivers because of lack of experience and higher involvement in risk taking.
