They're also the only cohort that can't legally drink, which probably lowers their fatality rate somewhat.

In the U.S., 18–21 year olds cannot legally drink, either: the federal government withholds highway funds from any state which has a drinking age less than 21, so they all raised their drinking ages.
The cohorts were 16-19 then 20-24. The second cohort has a year without legal drinking, I paraphrased too much.
