Practice question

Which of the following is not a reason young drivers (16-20 yrs old) are involved in more collisions than older drivers?

  1. Increased risk taking
  2. More years of driving experience
  3. Exposure to alcohol and other drugs
  4. Lack of night driving experience

Answer: B — More years of driving experience

Young drivers between 16-20 years old are typically involved in more collisions due to a variety of factors, such as increased risk taking and lack of experience with driving at night. However, these factors do not necessarily mean that they have more years of driving experience than older drivers. In fact, the opposite is usually the case. Older drivers have had more time to gain experience on the road, and are less likely to partake in risky behaviors. Exposure to alcohol and other drugs may also contribute to young drivers' higher collision rates.
