The effects of a change in permissible blood alcohol concentration limit on involving drink-driving in road accidents
TL;DR: The researchers considered the relationship between the involvement of DUI drivers in road accidents in the years before and after the change in the permissible alcohol limit, and the results can be valuable for further development of the legislation related to alcohol concentration limits.
Young Drivers and Alcohol-Impaired Driving: A Driving Simulator Experiment
TL;DR: The authors explore young driver behavior under the influence of alcohol using a driving simulator experiment where participants were subjected to a common pre-defined dose of alcohol consumption, and results indicate that increased reaction times before consuming alcohol strongly affect post-consumption reaction times.
Does driving experience delay overload threshold as a function of situation complexity? In L. Dorn & M. Sullman (Eds.). Driver Behaviour and Training VI
TL;DR: In this paper, a study aimed to identify overload threshold due to driving situation complexity and driving practice, and subjective levels of tension [mental stress] and vigilance were analyzed as they can respectively influence workload and performance.

Changes in collision rates among novice drivers during the first months of driving.
TL;DR: It was found that crash rates drop most dramatically during the first 6 months of driving, and a graduated driver licensing system is identified as an effective method for ensuring that this development takes place in a more forgiving environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carrying Passengers as a Risk Factor for Crashes Fatal to 16- and 17-Year-Old Drivers
TL;DR: The data indicate that the risk of fatal injury for a 16- or 17-year-old driver increases with the number of passengers, which supports inclusion of restrictions on carrying passengers in graduated licensing systems for young drivers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alcohol-related relative risk of driver fatalities and driver involvement in fatal crashes in relation to driver age and gender: an update using 1996 data.
TL;DR: This is the first study that systematically estimated relative risk for drink-drivers with BACs between 0.08% and 0.10% (these relative risk estimates apply to BAC range midpoints at 0.09%.) the results clearly show that drivers with a BAC under 0.
Journal ArticleDOI
Driving experience, crashes and traffic citations of teenage beginning drivers
TL;DR: Self-reported crash involvements and citations were examined for each teenager's first year of licensure and first 3500 miles driven to find male gender, a lower GPA and living in a rural area were associated with a higher citation rate.
Journal ArticleDOI
The situational risks of young drivers: the influence of passengers, time of day and day of week on accident rates
TL;DR: The results indicate that the accident involvement rates of 16-19 year old drivers are higher than those of 20-24 and 25-59 year olds in all situations that were examined, but that they were disproportionately high on weekends, at nighttime and with passengers.
