Adolescents have a high risk of traffic accidents due to a lower perception of risk. This is due to several factors:

- **Overconfidence**: Young people tend to underestimate the dangers of driving, which leads them to take unnecessary risks. For example, they may compete with other drivers or not use the seatbelt because they believe they don't need it.

- **External influence**: Advertising that encourages risk-taking can influence their behavior, leading them to make dangerous decisions behind the wheel.

- **Lack of experience**: Limited driving experience also contributes to their inability to correctly assess risky situations.


These factors show that risk perception is crucial for road safety, especially among young drivers.
