Note. From 1999–2003, there was a total of 29 077 fatal motor vehicle crashes in which young U.S. drivers were involved, but not necessarily as fatality victims. Frequencies and percentages for each subgroup are shown rounded to the closest unit; totals are calculated with decimals and then rounded to closest unit.
