Accidents caused by distraction are more frequent among...

Correct answer

young people between 18 and 25 years old and people over 70 years old.

Road traffic accidents related to distraction are more common in two specific demographic groups: young people between 18 and 25 years old and people over 70 years old. This trend is due to several factors: Young people aged 18–25: this group is more prone to distraction because of a lack of driving experience, more frequent use of mobile devices and other distracting elements while driving, and a greater predisposition to taking risks. People over 70: older drivers may experience a decline in their attention and reaction skills, making them more susceptible to distraction and accidents. In addition, other factors increase the likelihood of accidents caused by distraction: driver carrying passengers: the presence of passengers may increase distractions, especially if they interact with the driver. Driving in summer and during leisure trips: distraction may increase during summer and on recreational journeys, especially at weekends and during the day. On roads, motorways and dual carriageways: the monotony of these roads may lead to reduced attention.
