99.9 percent of young drivers are just A-holes that think they know how to drive, but really don't yet. I was one of those too, But I was lucky very lucky, worst I ever got was a bent wheels, Wet road + bad tires+ sharp turn + 40 mph on a 15 mph turn + me at 18 = my car air born after hitting a curb, I learned a hard lesson that day,, I wasn't a good driver yet. Now I'm 1000 times better driver , But still not as good as I want to be.

omgggggggggg

 

 

i believe driving at any age really doesn't matter how good of a driver you are... there are many drivers that are 18 and are very good at what they do.. its called stupidity and when not to act "stupid" just know the limits of your car and don't go past them unless in a safe environment as in a course or something.

And i would say 18-25 bracket are dangerous yes.. but so are 50-80 year olds as well.. i would even dare to say 50-80 your more dangerous they get confused and they cant see at all. i seen a elder couple running a red light like it was nothing. but thats my .02

i hear all the time older people confusing the gas for the brake and running down people and running into homes business all the time.

 

It's important to know when you should and shouldn't brake when in a cornering situation. I see too many people throwing on their brakes when they get to the apex of a turn or later, you should brake going into the turn and let off by the apex.

This happens all too often, my young cousin is still recovering from an incident years ago where an old lady swerved and hit the gas instead of the brake.

Back on topic: I don't read up a whole ton on the accidents posted here but i would have to say that 95% of the ones I've read where people flip usually flip after they hit something or are already off the road.
