The summer months often see an increase in young and inexperienced driversbecause school is out. Unfortunately, inexperienced drivers are some of themost dangerous on the road for numerous reasons. Here are a few things to knowabout the dangers and how to avoid potential negligence.
More Distractions – Lessened Reaction Time
Younger and inexperienced drivers often have the same distractions as otherswith cell phones and passengers in the vehicle. Unfortunately, they may nothave the same experience in managing those distractions and lose focus on theroad easily. The result is often a severe crash that causes significantinjuries.
Lack of Decision-Making Abilities
Drivers who have been licensed for many years often know how to react whenthey encounter a potentially negligent driver. For instance, an inexperienceddriver may not know how to avoid a vehicle that brakes in front of them. Similarly,they may react incorrectly to a vehicle that swerves into their lane and causeeven further damage in a crash.
Recognizing Inexperienced Drivers
You can look at the driver to determine their age, but it’s not always adefinitive sign of youth and inexperience. An inexperienced driver may slowdown randomly when they notice they’re over the speed limit. They may alsobrake erratically in anticipation of other vehicles. If they’re distracted,they may also swerve into other lanes.
Whenever negligence exists, it’s important to seek compensation. Younger andinexperienced drivers are more likely to experience a crash than adults whohave significantly more experience on the road.
