Carrying more than one passenger significantly increases the risk of an inexperienced driver crashing. Research has found that young drivers who carry 2 or 3 passengers have a 4 or 5 times increased crash risk compared to driving alone. Also, the more passengers in a crash, the greater the chance of someone being killed or injured.
