Writer's Block: Teenagers & Car Accidents
A number of things. Lack of experience. The belief that they are invincible. Carelessness. Easily distracted. I was the cause of an accident shortly after receiving my license and I did well in my class and during my drive times, and drove a lot with the aid of my father... I no longer have that feeling of "It won't happen to me." Might be better if teens not only had to wait a little longer to drive... but also were taught over a longer period of time so they have a bit more practice.
