Is The risk of crash involvement per mile among drivers 16-19 years old 87 times that of older drivers?

This is a common question asked, however the statistic used in the question is far higher than i have heard previously, in actual fact, the result of a teenager crashing is due to inexperience, and in their first 3 years of driving is where they learn how to judge, distances, stopping times, and all manor of driving related skills. So in answer to your question yes the crash involvement per mile for 16-19 year older is much higher than that of adults, but no where near 87 times higher, a more realistic number would be about 4 times higher than that of older drivers.
