Motor vehicles accidents and teenage drivers: A statistical analysis of their age and injuries

Abstract

Motorcycle accidents are a prevalent problem in Texas, resulting in hundreds of injuries and deaths each year. Motorcycles provide the driver with little physical protection during accidents compared to cars and other vehicles, so when there is a collision involving a motorcycle, the motorcyclist is likely to be injured. While there are numerous reasons for motorcycle accidents, most are caused by negligence and could have been avoided. Because of the increasing popularity of motorcycles and scooter in Texas, coupled with an increase in the number of motorcycle accidents, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has amped its efforts to improve motorcycle safety. From the data, it has been visible that teenage drivers are the most vulnerable to motorcycle accidents. In this report, we have tried to find out the probability of young driver and passenger motorcyclist's injury based on different conditions and to predict the rate of changing injury to this group in the upcoming years.
