Your state is considering a separate proposal that would increase the amount of time that a driver must hold a learner's permit. The time would increase from 6 months to 12 months while still keeping the licensing age at 16 years. Assume the number of 16-year-olds who receive their driver's licenses each year in your state is
13,300.
How many fewer accidents would you expect to see this year as a result of this proposal? Percent of Drivers in an Accident
