*FARS (1993–97).
†NPTS (1995); weighted drivers were multiplied by five to estimate numbers of active drivers during 1993–97 for all age groups except ages 30–34, for whom 1995 Federal Highway Administration licensure data were used.
‡Non-occupants include pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorcyclists.
§Reference group is ages 30–59 combined.
