Are young drivers dangerous?

In Illinois, you can get a learner's permit at 15 and your license at 16, and you have to complete so many hours of classroom instruction and behind-the-wheel, as well as have your permit for at least three months before you can apply for your license. There's also restrictions on teen drivers here; until you've had your license for 6 months or you turn 18 (whichever happens first) you can't have more than one other teen in your car unless it's a sibling, and if you're 16 and out past curfew your license is invalid. I don't know, though...yeah, I see plenty of bad drivers who are young, but I also see a lot of older drivers who are really bad, too. So I think it depends on the person. Several of my friends have gotten in car accidents, but every single time it was the fault of the other driver, who in every case was and older driver.

I didn't get my permit until I was 17 and just got my license in April, and when I went to take my driving test for my license I was so scared I was going to totally screw up. Well, I didn't get any points taken off 🙄 And now I have to spend an hour every day driving to and from school...I try to be a good and safe driver, though, I'm not one of those insane people you see flying all over the road and I NEVER talk on my cell while driving.

Oh, and never try driving in downtown Chicago. The people there are crazy 😖

Yes, We are. 😖 You do not want to be around when I'm backing out, trust me.

Exactly what I think. Younger drivers are usually a little more lucide than older drivers. It's the 80 year old's that make it dangerous.

You need experience to drive and your first car shouldnt be a "thunder road" kind off car.
Learn how to handle an "ordinary" car and gain experience as a driver before you put your ass behind the wheel of a fast car.

Now maybe we should have a limit for the driving license upward too.
Cause some old people irritate the hell out of other drivers and at times causing them to take reckless chances.

Yes i am

... from the insurance companies there is no doubt that younger drivers(espesially boys) is the reason why the premium price is as high as it is.
Cassualties of traffic has an alarming rate of young people, people who just got their licence who have cars with monster machines.

Anybody behind the wheel is dangerous if they do not know how to handle the car.

That is why we licence them to drive... but not to live

Actually, mine was from Smallville

But, anyways... It is not as though every young person is a bad driver, much like not every elderly person leaves their left turn signal on all the time.

It is a matter of chance and choice.

sorry, don't watch the show, but I'll look up some quotes to incorporate into my arsenal 😉

😆

It is true, though.

There has been an increasing number of accident involving drivers with Provisional Licences. How do you feel about youndg drivers? DO you think that 16 is an OK age at which to start driving? If not, then what do you think is, and Why? If yes, why?

Please give your opinion and elaborate, it would be much appreciated.

Thank you.

I think young drivers can be dangerous, they arn't very experiencd with driving, so they're more prone to make mistakes. Over here kids are allowed to drive when theyre 14, whit is way to young. but the speed limit is also 35 mph, so there arnt very many accidents.
But where i used to live, the speed limit was 50-60, and people werent allowed to drive till 16, but there were still far more accidents.
