Each and every time we get behind the wheel we are taking a risk. We don't consciously think this way because there is such a tiny probability that we will be in an accident. That being said, the following infographic paints a picture to see how at risk we are when driving depending on our age demographic.
Compare.com, an insurance aggregator, took a recent survey of 448,333 drivers. Out of those drivers, 77,441 reported being in an accident over the past 6 months. The data is broken down into 6 age groups. Not surprising was that the youngest driving group surveyed, ages 18-24, was the most accident-prone. Perhaps most surprising was that the least accident-prone drivers were the eldest group surveyed, ages 65+.
