I'm going to talk about my project about accident risk for young drivers in Belgium. We did a survey about this and were able to calculate which factors put young drivers most at risk. As was expected, the lack of driving experience was factor number one.

They let me chose whether I wanted to present, if I didn't then my boss, who worked on the project with me, would go to the conference. But I decided to do it myself because it will be a great learning experience. I'll probably spend a couple of weeks preparing my presentation though.

Heh, I'm sure I can subtly rant about how dangerous those young people on our roads

Wow, that's your test? Why don't they just let you drive in traffic? I think that's the only way to make sure you have enough insight in traffic to decide whether or not you deserve a driver's license. Good luck with the test, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!
