In general, the comments regarding young drivers and risk are accurate --
just ask the insurance companies, which keep amazingly detailed data on
driving and demographics.  It is essential for their bottom line.  Also the
rental companies, which generally don't rent to persons under 25.  Each
individual is of course, exactly that, an individual.  Regarding how young
folks perceive their driving style:  For many, that is irrelevant -- they
are essentially immortal, just ask them, nothing bad will happen.  I am not
exaggerating much.
