Most people avoid accidents, so anecdotes are likely to skew toward "no effect". But the incidence of recklessness is still higher in young people, hence in countries where a lot of young people drive, there will be a bump in the DUI accident numbers for young people.

My argument is that unless young people have experience with both, it's unlikely that there won't be an initial increase in DUI accidents until they get that experience.




Yes, and my argument is that you can reduce the risks of that recklessness by teaching them about driving (or for that matter about alcohol) early, rather than treating them like children.
