This is the problem with statistics.

Its not just that younger drivers have more accidents, it’s that new, inexperienced drivers have more accidents. By banning under 25s from driving you’re just kicking the can down the road. Also, not to mention you’re crippling the mobility of the workforce in less urban regions.

Also, those are just total numbers of accidents. They don’t say what the nature of the accidents were. Each accident has a value of *1 in your statistic, but that’s false. A young person clipping someone’s bumper in a parking area isn’t the same value as an octogenarian plowing into a bus stop full of people.

In fact, your statistics only show that with age and experience people improve in driving in terms of safety, and then have a decline after retirement.
