I agree to a certain extent that young drivers are reckless.
Turning eighteen years old in teenagers' lives is an exciting event. It allows them to get a drivers license and is a big step towards adulthood. With this, it gives them freedom and control over something they have never experienced before.
Based on statistics,one of the most common causes of teenage death are accidents by teenage drivers. For the most part, eighteen year olds don't realize the importance and responsibility that comes when getting a drivers license. They feel it is something to play around with and don't take it seriously. For instance, immaturity is a cause of being irresponsible. Because of this there are many accidents that happen that could have been prevented.
Often, in teenagers' lives, they look towards their friends for advice and guidance rather than their teachers, parents, and others. There are a lot of reasons for this and the biggest one is peer pressure. Teenagers are at a stage in their lives where "it isn't cool to listen to mom and dad", and "fitting in" is a big factor. Therefore when their friends tell them things to do or say, they are more willing to do it just for the sake of "fitting in."
Based on statitics "Teen driver crashes are the leading cause of death for our nation’s youth. The overwhelming majority of these crashes are caused by inexperience or distractions, not "thrill-seeking" or deliberate risk-taking." From this we can see that teenagers do not know how to control their thought process and often lead to crashes.
However,not all young drivers are reckless,if they are careful at all times,and know what they are doing,their lives would not be endangered and driving would certainly be fun.
