Millennials involved in an increase in car crashes, survey finds

A recent survey conducted by CarMats, based on official gov.uk data, has revealed a concerning trend: millennials are contributing to a five per cent rise in car accidents. The survey, which analysed collision data across different age groups, identified individuals in their 30s as being involved in more collisions than any other demographic.

Men and women in their 30s were found to be behind the wheel in over 6,000 and 5,120 collisions, respectively, according to the survey. In contrast, the youngest and oldest female drivers exhibited the most cautious behaviour, each responsible for less than 2,000 collisions based on the latest government data.

This revelation coincides with official statistics indicating a five per cent increase in vehicle collisions from 2021 to 2022, with reported figures rising from 101,087 to 106,004.

Commenting on the findings, Ash Young, founder of CarMats, emphasised the importance of addressing risky driving behaviours and enhancing road safety measures. He suggested that individuals involved in collisions consider bolstering their driving skills through refresher lessons or investing in safety technologies such as black boxes or dashcams to boost confidence on the road.
