Young Drivers and Road Accidents, 2008, 08/12/09 [W]

The latest National Statistics about young drivers (aged under 25) and road accidents produced by the Welsh Assembly Government.

The key points from the latest release include:

  • Young drivers are more likely to be involved in an accident than older drivers.
  • Are more likely to be involved in certain types of accident than older drivers.
  • But are not more likely to be involved in a fatal or serious accident, as compared with a slight accident than older drivers.
  • Young men are more likely to be involved in an accident than young women, but not to any greater extent than the general tendency of men to be more involved in accidents.
  • Road safety is improving for older drivers; it is not improving, to the same extent, for young drivers.
  • More 18 and 19 year olds are involved in accidents than other single year age group of young drivers and their involvement in accidents is increasing.
  • The Valley authorities and Isle of Anglesey are relative ‘hot spots’ for young drivers’ involvement in accidents.
  • Lastly, if a young driver is involved in an accident, then it is less likely to be a fatal or serious accident in more urban local authority areas; more likely to be a fatal or serious accident in more rural local authorities.

The bulletin is available to download from the Welsh Assembly Government website.
