Show the answer

They lack experience and judgementThis was the right answer

Young and inexperienced motorcyclists are far more likely to be involved in incidents than more experienced riders. The reasons for this include natural exuberance, showing off, competitive behaviour and overconfidence. Don’t overestimate your abilities and never ride too fast for the conditions.
