Safety & Statistics

To that end, we at DMV.ORG have put together a number of sections that provide you with some background on driving safety and statistics.

The youngest drivers are statistically at the most risk for getting into a car accident; 16-year-old drivers are involved in traffic accidents more than any other group on the road. Because of that, many states have implemented graduated license programs. In our section for teen drivers, you can find out if your state has a graduated license structure, and if so, what the restrictions for young drivers are.

At the other end of the spectrum, older drivers have an increased risk of having an accident because their reactions, hearing, and sometimes vision, becomes less acute as the years progress. Our articles written especially for the more mature driver may provide some suggestions that may make your outings a bit safer.

The reliability of your automobile is another factor when it comes to being safe on the roadway. Be sure to access our section on vehicle and tire recalls.

Another proactive way to protect your passengers, yourself, and your property is to make sure you have adequate auto insurance. Be sure to spend some time reading through our information in our Insurance Center, with links to some of the most prominent insurance companies on the Web.

Spend some time browsing through our Safety & Statistics pages―it is our hope that some of our information just may help you stay safe, and keep you from being one of the statistics.
