Kansas in the Top 20 Most Dangerous States for Young Drivers

 

Safety.com has analyzed data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to determine the most dangerous states for young drivers (ages 15-20). This is in recognition of National Teen Driver Safety Week that took place in October.

 

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration data provides a look at the percentage of state traffic fatalities involving young drivers.

 

In Kansas, 13.7% of serious vehicle crashes where a fatality occurred involved young drivers. When factoring in that 8.35% of the population of Kansas was between ages 15-20, this places the state in the top 20 most dangerous states for young drivers.

 

Oklahoma sits outside the top 10 at #11. The top five most dangerous states for young drivers are Rhode Island, Iowa, New Hampshire, Mississippi and Missouri.
