Answer

Brief Explanations:

  1. Drivers unaware of risks are less likely to take proper action for obvious risks and may deny fault in crashes. So A is false and B is true.
  2. Perceived risk can differ greatly from actual risk. Risk is always present, affected by road - users and can be managed. So B is not a characteristic of risk.
  3. Younger drivers (under 20) typically have less driving experience and higher fatality rates per million miles driven. So B is correct.
  4. Driver error is a major factor in traffic crashes, contributing to about 90% of them. So A is correct.

Answer:

  1. b. Tend to insist that any crash they were involved in is not their fault.
  2. b. Perceived risk does not differ from actual risk.
  3. b. Higher than other drivers.
  4. a. 90% of all traffic crashes.
