Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: is one of the causes of accidents involving young people.
Lack of experience is one of the causes of accidents involving young people. When you first start driving, you have to think through each action, such as shifting gears or checking the mirrors, leaving little attention for traffic. That is why you notice hazards later and assess risks less accurately. Inexperience increases the risk rather than reducing it.
