Car: Drivers under the age of 30 are more prone to traffic accidents

The drivers up to 30 years old are the ones most frequently involved in accidents. 26.8% of drivers involved in accidents last year were in this age group and the main reason for most incidents was lack of experience while driving. As drivers get older, the percentage of accidents decreases, while there is a slight increase (10.5%) in accidents over the age of 80.

Evidence shows that the younger a driver is, the more likely they are to be involved in an accident, confirming the rule of thumb that the younger the driver, the more likely they are to be involved in an accident. The Hellas Direct research data showed that drivers who belong to the 40-50 age group, that is to say the most productive age, are particularly careful and their involvement is low (12.1%). The involvement of drivers belonging to the years 30-40 is 15.8%, while those belonging to the category 50-60 are involved at a rate of 12.6%. Drivers who belong to solar between 60-70 years their rate of involvement in accidents is 10.9%, while it decreases to 9.3% for drivers who belong to the solar category 70-80 years.

Of all accidents, most of the younger drivers (26% rate) and 30-64 year olds (25.1% rate) are in parked vehicles. The over 65s are more likely to be tricked by reversing and reversing (28% and 25.6% respectively) and are involved in accidents.

Monday remains the day with the most accidents, as the rates are 17.8% for new drivers and 17.48% for slightly more experienced drivers. Regarding the hours, noon, 12 to 3, are the hours with the most accidents for all ages (22.6% for those under 30 and 28.9% for those over 64).

Finally, 9 out of 10 crashes according to the specific data did not require a crane to leave the scene of the accident.
