Yes because In the decade of 2000-2009, 27 percent of the victims in crashes involving 15 to 20 year old drivers were riding as passengers with a young driver. The chances a 16-year-old will die in a crash increase39 percent with one teen passenger,86 percent with two teen passengers, and182 percent with three or more teen passengers.
Below are the stats as quoted from NHTSA. 25% had .08 BAC or higher in 2008. "In 2008, 31 percent of the young drivers (15 to 20 years old) who were killed in crashes had a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .01 grams per deciliter (g/dL) or higher; 25 percent had a BAC of .08 or higher."
If everyone drive exactly as is recommended and follow all of the rules of the roads, accidents would decrease to a very low level but there would never be a time that there would be no accidents. But I am going to say that more than 50% of car crashes could be prevented just by drivers following the laws and rules.

Truck drivers
There are over 194 million drivers on the road today in this country (over 14.5 million of those drivers are in Florida). There are over 6.3 million collisions on the road every year, one-third of these crashes resulting in an injury or death.Young drivers, between 15 and 20 years old, accounted for 6.4 percent (12.5 million) of the total collisions. In 2003, 7,884 15- to 20-year-old drivers were involved in fatal crashes - killed, and an additional 308,000 were injured, in motor vehicle crashes.

Distracted drivers and following to closely.
MADD is an acronym that stands for Mothers against drunk drivers. According to MADD, in 2010 16% of all drivers involved in fatal crashes during the week were drunk. On the weekend it rose to 31%.
For a career I would say Cale Yarborough & Dale Earnhardt (caused the most wrecks(?) I'm in the present so I will address same, from 2002 thru 2006 the drivers with the most crashes were: Kurt Busch & Elliott Sadler. There is a trend in crashes, the drivers who are the most aggressive are the ones who are in or cause the most crashes, so watch for the most aggressive drivers and see who causes, and are in a lot of crashes. (Drivers to watch: Kyle Busch, J.P. Montoya).
