Yeah i do, completely...cuz they are immature and don't really know what they are doing...so often they get drunk and drive, or even love speeding on the road...and its just so dangerous, and they don't realize how bad that can be...

i think one should not generalize youngsters as reckless drivers. Yes, the age and raging hormones does bring reckless behavior of all sorts, driving being a component.. but not all.

Moreover, most of the times, i feel threatened on road by women in big truck / cars
1) talking over the cell- phone, 😡
2) fluttering in the wind like daffodils because the truck is too hard to handle, 😡
3) taking care of children in back seats while driving 🤢
4) applying make up at traffic lights 🤢 🤢 🤢

they are no children / youngsters and i always wish they were under 16 forever!!

Are youngsters careless drivers?

It is the reason why they pay more for auto insurance until the age of 25+.

This is all stereotypical stuff. Are all blacks' gangsters? Are all whites educated? Are all Asians smart? Are all women weak? Are all men goofs?

No they're not. It is wrong to categorize people. Im not saying that youngsters are the best drivers or the worst, all im saying is that some are and some aren't. Women drivers are also annoying, but so are men.. For example, today, I was sitting with my mom in the car, and another car was in front of us, at a stop sign. It got many chances to take a turn, but it didn't move.

"Must be a women driver" my mom said. I just didn't respond, as I was to busy singing a song on the radio. But, as we passed the car on the highway, we saw that the driver was a young, twenty something year old boy, who was taking him time and driving.

What does one have to say about that? And there are some old people who drive fast and break speed limits, but when someone sees a old person, they often think of them too be slow drivers.

Bottom line- people cannot be put in groups. Everyone is an individual and should be treated like one.

I think youngsters drive carefully (i m not saying all) but majority but bcz of some carefree younsters it has become a saying that youngsters r careless drivers thats why their insurance is more expensive but according to me they drive more carefully then elder bcz they have less experience than elders and they drive with caution but elder ppl think that they have enough experience so they sometimes drive carelessly.

Wow Prakriti, i completley do agree with you, im so sick of these sensless stereotypes....EACH PERSON IS THEIR OWN INDIVIDUAL!...there isn't a certain "type" of people that do something...every person makes their decisions, has their own personality!

Not all youngester are careless drivers. Its just that many youngesters drink and drive carelessly and some others tend to follow them, it seems like most of the young drivers are careless but actually not. Kids are better learner than adults and they do drive good as long as they are not smoking while driving or on the cell phones while driving. Kids tend to get distracted more than adults thats why there are more accidents with young drivers that matured drivers.

i don't think all youngsters are "careless" driver. i still have to set foot on the road but i know i will be careful. this is a stereotype. it is unfair to classify ALL youngsters under reckless drivers. also i have seen ppl who are in late 20s n 30s that get drunk every night n have no life. their r reckless not w/ the road but w. thier life. so every one is their own individual n it is unfair to say ALL youngsters or women are bad in driving.
