I add this from the document:
Quote:
WHY DO YOUNG DRIVERS HAVE A POOR ROAD SAFETY RECORD?
There are two main reasons why young drivers have a poor safety record: a lack of road
experience, and an inclination to take unnecessary risks.
Road experience
Because of their lack of driving experience, many young drivers have a poor appreciation of road conditions and are unable to adapt their driving style where necessary. Accordingly, they often overestimate their ability and safety on the road. This lack of experience explains over one third of all accidents involving young drivers
Inexperience leads to accidents: in particular when driving at night, negotiating bends, driving at high speeds, and driving on wet roads.
