The number of young drivers involved in motor vehicle crashes each year has declined substantially in recent years, for teenage drivers of all ages and in crashes of all severities. The number of people injured annually in crashes involving teen drivers declined by 51% between 1994 and 2013, and the number killed each year in teen driver crashes declined by 56%. Most of the decline in injuries and virtually the entire decline in fatalities occurred between 2004 and 2013. While the reasons for the declines are not entirely clear, numerous studies have shown that strong state GDL systems have contributed substantially to reductions in injury and fatal crashes of drivers aged 15–17. Research also suggests that economic factors including rising gas prices and the economic recession of 2008 resulted in substantial declines in teen driving and thus teen crashes as well.
