Are youngsters careless drivers? - Page 3

Typically yes.. by instinct they have just come out watching the fast and the furious..
True with most guys.. but gals generally are ok, indian gals surely ok...same with indian guys...

when I see a gum chewing american teenager wearing a lot of dark-eye shades/shadows... I just let her pass... pull over if required... 😆

This is what I call stereotyping. An Indian friend told me once that her driving instructor made a remark that Indian girls are terrible at driving with zero confidence and it takes many tests before they get license and even get on the road.

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' 😛). 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. 😆

My uncle's car that I was driving got totalled thanks to someone who did the same thing.  She just did not stop at the TOLL plaza while I was watching her come and rear-end me while applying her mascara🤢🤢
She also had 2 kids in her back seat and my back seats almost became front seats with that hit of a Dodge ram on a civic.

Are you ladies trying to substantiate one of the earlier poster's claim of women being ☢️ hazardous driver ☢️.

 

May be the kid was about to puke and mess up the upholstry....😆.. why are we bringing out exceptions to prove a rule...😆

You know me well Tania. 😆
