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.
