Teens should wait until age 18 to drive, New York senator says.
I don't know if 1st year accident rate is available but overall teen accident rate is. Here is a copy. This is from the Insurance Information Association.

Drivers age 15-20 accounted for 12.9 percent of all the drivers involved in fatal crashes and 16 percent of all the drivers involved in police-reported crashes in 2006.
