Question 6561
Overestimating their driving ability or having a lower perception of risk are behaviors that, in general, make young drivers...
- be more cautious behind the wheel.
- be more likely to be involved in a crash.
- be less likely to be involved in a crash.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: be more likely to be involved in a crash.
If you overestimate your ability, you believe you can control the car in any situation and take more risks. If you are less aware of risk, you see less danger than there actually is and make poorer decisions. Both increase the chance that a young driver will have an accident.
