Driver inexperience and the risk of a crash | Bassi, Vreeland & Associates, P.C.
There are different reasons why an older driver may be inexperienced. For example, some people may not drive until their 20s or even later in life, such as those who previously lived in a major city and found that public transportation was more convenient. Moreover, someone may be inexperienced when it comes to driving a particular type of vehicle. For example, someone may not have driven a truck before, and they may have difficulty managing a larger truck while on the road. Or, a driver may not be familiar with a particular vehicle model and they might drive erratically as a result of their unfamiliarity.
Drivers may also be inexperienced with particular areas, such as those who find themselves in a city they have never been to before. Ultimately, it is important to remember that there are many reasons why drivers may have a higher likelihood of crashing due to inexperience and be mindful of any situations in which you may be more likely to crash due to unfamiliarity.
