The research team made the observation after assessing the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration data on fatal road traffic collisions.

The average blood samples that had contained alcoholic beverages was noted across five age bands: 16; 17; 18; 19 to 20; and 21 to 24 years.

Also, blood alcoholic beverages levels were found to be 0.08 to 0.14g/dl, which is at or above the legal drink drive limit.

In all, there were 1,80,000 fatal car crashes among drivers aged 16 to 24 during the study period.

It was found that among 16-year-old women drivers, the rate fell by 0.8 per 100,000 and remained the same for 17 and 18 year old.

Also, an increase in the proportion of young female drivers with a positive blood alcoholic beverages test arouses the risk of fatal collision.

The most important part, the proportion was found to be higher than for young male drivers.

It rose by 3.5percent on weekdays and 2.2percent at weekends among young women compared to that of young men.
