Answer & Explanation:
Summary: It is twice as likely
A 17-year-old driver is more likely to crash with three passengers rather than just one by about twice as likely. Whenever a teenager is driving it is already dangerous as it is. The reasons for this can vary, but studies show that compared to driving with no passengers a 16 or 17-year-old driver's risk of death (depending on mph driven)...This includes NO passengers older than the age of 21.
- Increases by 44% when with 1 passenger younger than 21-years of age.
- Doubles when carrying two passengers younger than 21-years of age.
- Quadruples when carrying three or more passengers younger than 21.
But it
- Decreases by 62% when a passenger age 35 or older is in the vehicle with the teenage driver.
Studies also show that out of 2,191 people of the age 16 or 17 that had been killed, nearly 40% of them had at least one passenger in their car with them that was younger than the age of 21 with no older passenger.
Risks were significantly reduced when an adult passenger (aged 35 and older) was present in the vehicle.
