Question 4598

Starting at what age do most traffic accidents increase significantly?

  1. Starting at age 65.
  2. Starting at age 15, when a driver's license for mopeds can be obtained.
  3. There is no specific age; the number of fatalities increases across all age groups.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Starting at age 15, when a driver's license for mopeds can be obtained.

At age 15, you can already get an AM license and start riding a moped with very little experience. From that age onward, traffic casualties rise sharply. In Spain in 2024, 9 people ages 10 to 14 died, compared with 65 ages 15 to 19.
