Getting your driver’s license is a big deal for young adults. However, teen drivers lack experience and are more likely to cause an accident with another vehicle. Young drivers are more prone to engage in reckless behavior like texting while driving or speeding than experienced drivers.
When young drivers engage in reckless behavior behind the wheel, it creates a risk not only to themselves but to their passengers and others on the road. Moreover, due to inexperience, teen drivers may not have the same reaction time as other drivers. Some of the common factors that lead to accidents with young adults include:
Both parents and young drivers are responsible for reducing teen driving accidents. When young people are appropriately trained and follow safety precautions, crashes are preventable. New drivers should always exercise caution, refraining from using substances or engaging in distracted driving. Those injured in a crash with a teen driver should contact a San Mateo attorney to pursue a claim.
Although many assume they cannot recover damages from a teen driver, when a young adult is negligent, the injured person can still hold them responsible, as drivers in California must carry insurance regardless of their age.
