Who are the best drivers? According to a recent survey, young and inexperienced drivers are the most likely to have an accident. Older drivers are more careful. Young men have the worst accident record of all. They often drive faster cars with bigger engines. One of the most interesting findings in the survey is that passengers can affect the driver. When young male drivers drive their friends, their driving becomes worse. When their wives or girlfriends are in the car; however, their driving improves. But this is not true for women. Their driving is more dangerous when their husbands or boyfriends are in the car. However, if their children are riding in the car, they drive more slowly and safely.
Answer T/F:
49.According to the survey, young and inexperienced drivers are the most likely to have an accident.
