According to the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, teens and those in their early 20s still cause the most crashes per year. In their defense, only 6 percent of Americans ages 18 to 24 claim to not be scared of anything while driving, compared to 14.4 percent of respondents ages 65+ who claim to be fearless.

These differences become even greater when we split by sex and age. For example, 19 percent of men aged 65+ claim to be completely fearless on the road compared to 6 percent of males in their teens and early 20s.

However, fatalities actually remain constant between teenagers and seniors. Even though seniors have more years of driving experience under their seatbelts, the increased health concerns in this age bracket could be attributed to the increased number of fatalities.
