Your question cannot be answered as it has a false assumption. The percentages of teenagers being involved in accidents, fatal accidents, and fatal accidents involving alcohol has *DROPPED* over the past several decades.
Comparing 2005 with 1995:
For under 16:
1995: 410 drivers, 9.3% BAC%26gt;=.08%: 38 drunk drivers.
2005: 304 drivers, 10.5% BAC%26gt;=.08%: 32 drunk drivers.
For young teens, 2005 saw a 20% reduction in fatal drunk drivers.
For 16-20:
1995: 7,725 drivers, 15.6% BAC%26gt;=.08%: 1205 drunk drivers.
2005: 7,334 drivers, 17.3% BAC%26gt;=.08%: 1268 drunk drivers.
For Teens, 2005 saw a 5% increase in fatal drunk drivers.
I could not find a breakdown by age, but in 2005 there were 200,549,000 licensed drivers, a 12% increase over the 176,628,000 licensed drivers in 1995.
Assuming a similar increase in the number of teen drivers, the RATE of fatal accidents *and* fatal accidents involving a BAC%26gt;=.08% dropped considerably from 1995 to 2005.How much has teenage drunk driving increased?
