Do you think that some groups (cultures, age etc) have a higher percentage of bad or careless drivers than other drivers.

I love the seniors, elderly or whatever..however I gotta say some of them are the worst drivers...and I do think some groups have a higher percentage of careless drivers than others. But I gotta say I think its more age related than...race or cultures!
There has to be an age limit for elderly people to stop driving..not sure if there is...I live in Florida and sometimes I'm like.."hey grandpa you want me to show you how drive that big body Benz?" ..lol
It's crazy and scary too...

A teenager (and yes, especially a teenage boy), full of confidence in skills he has yet to acquire, lacking judgment and not having learned the need for judgment, is the one we have to look out for.
Watch out for the newbies
Less than one percent of people over 65 die as a result of motor vehicle accidents. On the other hand, car crashes are the major cause of death for the age group 16-19. As the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety puts it “Teenage drivers represent a major hazard.”
The young and the lead-footed are truly scary. Their risk of crash per mile is 4 times higher than in older age groups. Males in this group are twice as likely as females to die in a car crash.
Age and experience do matter
And while older drivers do have problems that can sometimes effect their ability to be the drivers they once were, studies show that older drivers tend to be aware of their limitations and restrict their driving as their abilities diminish. As a result, car accidents involving seniors are generally not serious. The spike in per mile fatality with older drivers is due to their increased fragility. (A driver over 65 is twice as likely to die from the same accident as a driver over 55, and a driver above 75 has four times the risk.)

All cultures have these worst drivers and that is the old, old driver. It is so sad, when the elderly gentleman has to give up his license. Old women are the worst. Old age is cruel.

In health class in 8th grade I learned that boys are at higher risk of getting in a car crash. specifically a boy that is drunk,high,ect.; in a small car; and mostly the driver lives and the passenger dies. The boys are most common in a car crash because most of the time they don't think before there actions.
