I wouldn't say all youngsters are careless and risky drivers but I'll definitely agree that most of the risky drivers are youngsters. Here by youngsters I mean below 30 and older is 30+ (this is for you QT for calling below 25 people 'kids' π). In a drag race or impromptu street races you'll rarely see anyone above 30 taking part. As for careless driving I feel DUI, talking on cell phone, breaking signals occurs as much among older drivers as younger drivers.
I'll give some reasons as to why it may be so:
1) Youngsters don't have any dependent family to think about.
2) They are newer to driving, so the novelty of the activity takes time to wear off and they tend to experiment in that period.
3) Youngsters are more influenced by stunts they have seen in films.
4) Older people have had their share of accidents already, so they know what a crash would mean.
5) Everyone thinks noone can drive like him. π

Rash driving is prevalent among all ages.Would have to dig up data on whether rash driving is more prevalent in teens and young adults( the data would be flawed as many people do not report accidents if it involves just their car)
One day , a SUV overtook me with just a few inches between the vehicles.
And she had a child in the backseat.
Are you ladies trying to substantiate one of the earlier poster's claim of women being β’οΈ hazardous driver β’οΈ.
