Restrictions for novice drivers: does the rate of road accidents depend on the power of the cars? The director of the driving school, Ivan Novikov, referred to the initiative of the National Automobile Association, according to which it is proposed to prohibit drivers with less than three years of experience from driving cars with a power of more than 150 horsepower. "Horsepower doesn't affect it in any way, because the most important thing is the speed limit. Horsepower only affects the acceleration time of a car. But even a car with low power can accelerate to a speed of 140-150 km/h, and neither the car nor the driver can cope with this speed. It's not because of the horsepower. It's just inexperience," he said. Novikov also emphasized that in the first years after receiving the driver's license, a large number of accidents occur, but such accidents rarely have serious consequences. "A large number of accidents occur between two and three years: the drivers are already starting to gain experience, but they still cannot accurately predict the situation. At the moment a very large number of accidents are occurring, but perhaps not very serious. In my opinion, the greatest number of accidents occur after more than five years, when the driver begins to think that the whole world is completely clear to him, but he simply cannot take into account the points. Novikov also added that the most effective means of preventing road accidents would be mandatory emergency training courses, so that drivers know what to do in emergency situations and not rely on instincts.
