Driving is the same as life in general you cannot buy experience, it has to be gained, the hard way or the easy way. Regarding driving I personally have learned the easy way by others "mistakes", unfortunately I don't think there is an easy solution to the problem as young people and in particular young men at late teen/early 20s are disadvantaged by surging hormones and bravado coupled with a "need for speed", this is a lethal mixture particularly on the roads today, this coupled with a desire to impress a member of the opposite sex sets the scene for disaster. To sum up I personally don't think there is a quick fix to this problem, it has been with us as long as I have been driving (almost 30 years). It is impossible to put an old head on young shoulders, I think those of us who have survived adolescence in one piece should be extremely grateful indeed.
