Unlicensed Driver Accidents in Pasadena

Statistics for Unlicensed Drivers

The findings concluded that on average 8,030 drivers were either definitely or possibly driving without a valid license or no license (13.7% of all drivers involved in fatal crashes) were involved in 7,679 fatal crashes (19.9% of all fatal crashes), which resulted in 8,801 deaths (20.5% of all deaths occurring in motor vehicle crashes). Of those 8,030 annual fatal collisions involving drivers without a license, or possibly no license, 2,403 (29.9%) were driving with no known license.

The state of California is plagued with unlicensed drivers who injure or kill others who are abiding the law. These drivers come from various ethnicities, age groups, and backgrounds. Whether they are driving on a suspended or revoked licensed after a DUI conviction, or if they are an immigrant, who has failed to secure a valid California license, or if they are a teenager who is unlicensed to driver, or if they are an elderly adult who was banned from driving, all are still on the road illegally. However, unlicensed drivers are morally and legally liable for damages in the event they cause property damage or bodily injuries to another driver, their passengers, pedestrians, motorcyclists or bicyclists on the roadway.
