Statistics show that drivers _________ have more accidents than drivers in other age groups.

Statistics show that the youngest drivers (under age 20) have about twice as many accidents as would be expected for the number of drivers in this group. As they get older, they continue to have fewer accidents until about 50 to 54 years of age. These drivers have the least number of accidents of any age group. Starting at age 55, accidents occur more frequently as age increases. Drivers above age 75 are involved in a larger number of accidents, but still fewer than drivers under the age of 25.
