Are 16 years olds good drivers?

No, 16 year olds are not generally good drivers. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), teenagers aged 16 to 19 are three times more likely to be involved in a fatal car crash than drivers aged 20 and older. This is due to a variety of factors, including:

* Lack of experience: 16 year olds have only been driving for a short period of time, and they do not have the same level of experience as older drivers.

* Risky behavior: 16 year olds are more likely to engage in risky driving behaviors, such as speeding, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and distracted driving.

* Immaturity: 16 year olds are less likely to be aware of the risks associated with driving, and they may be more likely to make poor decisions behind the wheel.

Due to these factors, 16 year olds are generally not considered to be good drivers. In addition, many countries have restrictions on the licenses of 16 year olds, such as not allowing them to drive at night or with other passengers.
