New drivers more accident prone?
I recently came across a news report in New York Times on the web which said that Nano drivers, being first-time drivers, will cause more accidents. I strongly object to this view. I am of the opinion that first-time drivers are more careful than the expert drivers. I worked as a teacher in a car training school for some time and found that 95 percent of first-time drivers liked to keep moderate speeds, adhered to traffic rules, and allowed ambulances by when required. Their only drawback was that they were slow.
Look at the expert drivers, particularly taxi drivers who are most experienced in street driving. They are most rash and do not care for life or property of others. How can you blame first-time drivers for all accidents? It is a misplaced theory. Cars are inanimate things, but a careless driver can cause accidents – first-time or expert regardless.

I agree with Rashmi that new drivers are more careful than experienced. I think that New York Times could not think of anything better and thought that it could pin the accident rate on Nano. It is a hilarious comparison.
There are more they criticise, the more in am sure that Nano has shaken their belief in their supremacy.
