(STUDY FINDS) — LOS ANGELES — Who are the worst drivers on the roads? If you think it’s teens, think again. A recent study finds that the youngest segment of motorist tend to demonstrate safer driving habits than their older counterparts.
Researchers from UCLA sought to relate four common factors among young motorists to driver safety and ability on the road. The four factors the research team tested for were age, gender, sports participation, and video game experience. They found that age mattered when it came to driving ability, and that people who played sports were typically the best drivers.
For the study, the research team hired instructors from a Los Angeles driving school to test study participants, rating each driver on a scale of one to four.
