There are many things that affect our driving and flying.
Being careless while young is one issue, and some states are looking at
changing the minimum age driving rules because of this.

I think you're confusing "careless" versus "reckless". What teens do is
typically _reckless_; what old geezers do is _careless_.

At least the reckless driver is somewhat aware of what's going on around
them (especially after they get older), but the careless driver is off in
the ozone.

When I was doing road building in the 80's, it was pretty much acknowledged
that three-fourths of fatal TAs were due to carelessness (not as latently
deadly as recklessness, but way more common). Most commonly it was blowing a
traffic sign while "daydreaming".
