Correct answer

Yes; inexperience can contribute regardless of age.

Limited experience may make early hazard recognition and an appropriate response to unfamiliar situations harder. It is a risk factor for novice drivers of any age; novice does not necessarily mean young. Road and vehicle conditions, attention and other behaviour also matter.
