Riskmedvetenhet
Lätt
Why are young drivers (18–24 years) considered a high-risk group in traffic?
They often have a lack of experience and maturity, overestimate their ability and take more risks
They generally drive more miles per year than other groups
Their reaction ability is much worse than middle-aged drivers
Explanation
Young people are overrepresented in accidents partly because they lack experience and sometimes undervalue risks. The Swedish Transport Agency emphasizes that personal maturity plays a role – the proportion of unsuitable drivers is higher among young people, especially young men.
