That confused me too. The tone suggests they think it's suicide, but more than twice as many people that age die in traffic accidents. Maybe I'm misinterpreting. Certainly not "all too clear" though. US 20-24 years fatal crash rate: 36.3/100,000 [1], and US 15-24 years suicide rate: ~15/100,000 [2].

The UK has about 1/4 the rate of traffic deaths [1], and possibly even more than that in young people. Although it also has 1/2 the rate of suicides (no idea about age distribution though).

Reckless behavior by young adults who recently have gotten a lot more freedom and responsibility.

I'm not sure but my guess would be suicide

And driving.

Drivng and road accidents maybe? Definitely not too clear...

First time living away from home with ample access to the vices of the world. Driving alone adds a tangible of risk of death.

Re. passengers, I thought it was the reverse. Seems it's more complicated than that - https://aaafoundation.org/teen-driver-risk-relation-age-numb....
