Question 5525
One of the factors that contributes to the accident rate among young drivers is...
- that they perceive driving as something dangerous.
- their greater ability to control the vehicle.
- their lower perception of risk.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: their lower perception of risk.
Perceiving risk means recognizing how much danger there is. Because of their personality and limited experience, many young drivers see less danger than there actually is, so they make risky decisions that lead to accidents. Seeing driving as dangerous, on the other hand, helps you be cautious.
