Westchester Deaths in an Age Range Flat After State Law
Four years ago, New York State enacted stricter licensing rules. Since the law was instituted, the state has seen some of its deadly statistics fall. Statewide, 60 drivers ages 16 and 17 were involved in fatal car accidents in 2005. In 2002, the number of 16- and 17-year-old drivers involved in fatal crashes was 82. In 2002, 192 drivers ages 18 to 20 were involved in fatal accidents; in 2005, the number was 140.
