According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the national rate for 16-year-old males was 210 accidents for every 1000 drivers (21%) during the year 2000. In a large city in the Midwest, a random sample of 150 16-year-old male drivers found that 25 of them had been in an accident during the year 2000.
