That mentality is not mutually exclusive to younger drivers, I will put money on the fact that the majority of people these days will not say it is their fault regardless of age. Some of that can come from the "never admit fault" statement that was drilled into many people but the other is from the general state of society where it is never a person's own fault but rather it must be the fault of someone else who could have prevented that person's original failure.
Side note: I resent many of the comments regarding young drivers: being 20 and never having an accident or any tickets of any kind, it really is frustrating to see people generalizing my age into a group of drivers that is reckless and carefree. Just like many generalizations, a few extreme cases end with a general perception of an entire group. It sucks that younger drivers have to be affected by people like the OP.
