The facts are simple.
- Each year approximately 120 Victorians are killed and 2300 more are seriously injured in crashes involving 18 to 25 year old drivers. This is about one third of the Victorian road toll.
- Probationary drivers are involved in three times more casualty crashes than experienced drivers.
- More young people die from road crashes than any other cause.
- Young driver road crashes are caused by many factors including inexperience, drink driving, driving in high risk situations (such as late at night or carrying multiple passengers), using a mobile phone and speeding.
