Young and rash may be the words that come to mind when we think of a teenager behind the wheel of a car, but in reality that might not be the case. A new study conducted by the University of California (UCLA), Los Angeles, has found that teens make for better drivers than adults.
The research, which was published in the journal Plos One, attempted to understand the correlation between age, gender, organized athletics and video gaming on driving skills. The authors Nancy Wayne, UCLA associate vice chancellor for research and a professor of physiology at the David Geffen School of Medicine, and Gregory Miller, an instructor at Westwood Driving School, studied 100 novice drivers who had less than five hours of driving experience before their first driving lesson. The test subjects averaged 18 years in age and the group was divided equally by gender.
