| Writer's Block: Teenagers & Car Accidents |
[May. 20th, 2009|08:22 am] |
The pat answer I think most people will use is "irresponsibility" or "lack of maturity." There are plenty of adults that have those qualities, however.
I think the answer that applies more broadly to teenagers is inexperience. Until a person has had a bit more time behind the wheel, no matter how safety-conscious that person is, there will be unfamiliar traffic patterns and roads, unfamiliar habits by other drivers, and a general lack familiarity with what your motor vehicle can and cannot do. |
