According to the Société de l’Assurance automobile de Québec [1](SAAQ), young drivers aged 16 to 24 are overrepresented in motor vehicle collisions. Although they constituted only 10% of driver's licence holders, they were involved in 21% of motor vehicle collisions resulting in bodily injury in 2013. The main causes are inexperience and recklessness.
In 2008, the SAAQ banned the use of hand-held cell phone while driving, as well as introduced measures to deter excessive speeding, impaired driving and to improve safety when driving a moped or motorized scooter .
