From 2010-2014, there was an average of 32,887 road deaths per year, which would mean 6,577 were caused by unlicensed drivers. The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, which obtains state-by-state data from the federal government Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) database – found that 20 percent of fatal crashes involved an unlicensed driver.
Such imprecise government bookkeeping masks a frightening and, critics say, preventable danger. “For example, San Francisco doesn’t report either criteria, so Drew’s death defaults to having been killed by a licensed driver who was a citizen.” “I’ve learned over time that many jurisdictions do not cite license status or immigration status when reporting these statistics, so if anything, the numbers are understated,” he said. Brandon Mendoza, (l.), was killed by an unlicensed illegal immigrant, prompting his mother, Mary Ann Mendoza, (r.), to become an activist.
