• It's possible that the danger presented by 18-25 year old drivers is less to do with when they passed their test, and more to do with the fact that they are 18-25, and so are their friends.

    Yup, I reckon that is the case.

    It's probably more that 18-25yr old people go out more than the older generation. Most older people I know only use their cars for commuting where the traffic is generally much slower

    I think it's true even when you correct for time or distance travelled. You can go straight to one study here, just check out the graphs! (I made a mistake, it's 17-20 year old men that are the real danger). There may well be more studies out there.
