Abstract
A valid license is one of the key requirements to drive a motor vehicle as per the laws of every State. This research note analyses data on drivers 16 and older in fatal crashes with invalid licenses. Major findings and statistical definitions are presented: * The number of drivers 16 and older involved in fatal crashes with invalid licenses is on average 6,934 each year and had a 2-percentage-point growth rate over the past decade (1998 to 2007). * The proportion of invalid licenses for drivers 16 and older in fatal crashes increased from 11 percent to 14 percent in the past 10 years, averaging 12 percent.
