Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, which increases the chance of being involved in a traffic accident.
Yes. Many young drivers see less danger than there actually is because of their personality and limited experience. If you misjudge a risk, you make poorer decisions. You think drinking a little or exceeding the speed limit is no big deal, which increases your chance of having an accident.
