Young **drivers** have a higher probability of being involved in traffic accidents due to several factors that affect their ability to correctly assess risks while driving.

- **Distractions**: Accidents due to distractions are more common among young drivers, especially those between 18 and 25 years old. This may be due to a lack of experience and a tendency to be more easily distracted.

- **Speeding and substance use**: Young people often drive at excessive speeds and may consume alcohol and drugs, which affects their judgment and reaction capacity.

- **Inexperience and lack of respect for the rules**: Little driving experience and not respecting traffic rules are common causes of accidents in this age group.

- **Tendency to take risks**: Young people tend to take more risks when driving, which increases the possibility of accidents. Additionally, they may be influenced by advertising that promotes risky behaviors.

- **Competition and lack of caution**: They compete with other drivers and often do not use seat belts or helmets, believing they are unnecessary.

In summary, the combination of **inexperience**, **distractions**, and a **tendency to take risks** causes young drivers to poorly assess the risks of driving, thus increasing the likelihood of being involved in traffic accidents.
