Why are young and new motorcyclists involved in more incidents than other motorcyclists?

View hint

Young and inexperienced motorcyclists are far more likely to be involved in incidents than more experienced riders. The reasons for this include natural exuberance, showing off, competitive behaviour and overconfidence. Do not overestimate your abilities and never ride too fast for the conditions.
