When looking at the reasons for accidents during the first month, 57 percent could be attributed to three reasons: not paying full attention to the road, speeding, and failing to yield to other drivers.
In addition to those causes, left-hand turns were also high on the list. During the first month of driving, teens often have difficulty navigating left-hand turns, but the study showed that most quickly mastered them as the accident rate dropped after the first thirty days.
