A large majority of accidents in high school kids come from people who just can't drive. Some people can go swerve in and out of traffic at 100 mph with no problems, and are willing to take the consequences that result. Surprisingly, very few crash and die. Hell, very few crash period. Some people just ignore all other traffic, or just can't drive and get into accidents left and right. Some minor which they don't even report, and some major ones.
Maturity has nothing to do with anyone's ability to drive a car. Driving is a skill, some are good, some are experts, and some just suck.

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
