Best Answer

Teenagers have a higher risk because they don't pay as much attention as adults do.

There are also other issues such as drugs and alcohol is more frequent in teens than any other age category.

Teenagers have not yet learned the consequences of their actions and don't believe that an accident could 'happen to them.'

They don't have the judgment and experience on what can go wrong and how to drive defensively.
