Abstract
The major health problem for teenagers is deaths and injuries associated with motor vehicle use. Teenagers are disproportionately involved in fatal crashes both as drivers and passengers; as drivers they are responsible for the crash deaths of many other people including non-teenagers. There are public policies available that would substantially reduce the deaths and injuries that result from teenagers driving, although they have not been widely applied.
