A survey in Britain has found that young drivers in rural areas are substantially more likely to be involved in an injury collision than their urban counterparts.
The report by consultants Road Safety Analysis says the findings suggest that higher driving mileage by rural drivers is one of the biggest factors in the higher risk.
Their risk is 37 percent higher than in urban areas. Previous studies have shown that drivers in Britain between the ages of 16-29 are involved in 30 percent of all collisions, though the group only makes up 18 percent of the population.
