Young Drivers

[Vicki]

nldscout, thanks.

 

Packsaddle, drunks are a whole 'nother issue that crosses age boundaries (although judgement in handling alcohol, statistically, is largely a youth problem). I thought you were talking about the studies that have been published recently on cognitive abilities which indicate that the ability to make good judgements isn't fully present in humans generally until we're about 25. Obviously there are exceptions to every rule, but again statistically, that seems to make sense. On a personal level, it was on my 25th birthday that I realized that life might be a more long-term thing than I had thought.

Vicki, we are in agreement. I was just noting that I realize that age is not the only factor in safe driving. A later age is also less risky for such decisions as marriage, reproduction, etc.

I believe it was Neil Young that wrote..."24 and there's so much more."
