The thing is, just like elderly drivers, these youngsters are HEAVILY charged by the insurance companies because of these kinds of habits. It's exactly the same response as raising the rates on the elderly driver. No-one is being treated better or worse than another...
The scariest time on the road down here in Florida is the couple of weeks overlap between the Snowbirds heading back up North, and the arrival of of the spring-breakers. Bad drivers going too fast AND too slow at the same time make for some hairy moments!
