On This Day | Youngsters and Autos

1955 was one of the bloodiest years on our nation’s highways, with a near record of 37,800 deaths. As if this were not grim enough, our young drivers figured prominently in compiling these statistics. More than 27% of all drivers involved in fatal accidents last year were under twenty-five years of age, a greater number than ever before.
— April 26, 1956 | The Ward County Independent
Why We Chose It
The one thing young drivers lack more than any other — experience. A close second, full knowledge of the consequences of their actions. Even though cars today are safer, we humans are not yet invincible which means the message from this editorial still applies.
