Predicting young, novice drivers’ intentions to install in-vehicle data recorders
TL;DR: In-Vehicle Data Recorders (IVDRs) encompass a broad range of technologies that record information about the movement, control, and performance of a vehicle during normal driving situations and have emerged as an objective and valid way to monitor, research, and influence driver behaviour as well as prevent crashes as mentioned in this paper.
Are Perceptions About Driving Risk and Driving Skill Prospectively Associated with Risky Driving Among Teenagers
Bruce G. Simons-Morton,Kaigang Li,Johnathon P. Ehsani,Marie Claude Ouimet,Perlus Jessamyn,Charlie Klauer +5 more
TL;DR: It was concluded that perceptions of risk and driving skills may have limited utility as objectives of prevention efforts because they are not significantly correlated with objective or self-reported measures of risky driving.
System-wide Safety Treatments and Design Guidance for J-Turns.
TL;DR: The project first synthesized the literature and state of practice on system-wide safety treatments and documented their effectiveness, then examined those treatments that have not been already implemented in Missouri to develop guidance on spacing and acceleration lanes.

Examining Prominent Causes of Traffic Injury Severity in Louisiana with Multinomial Logistic Models
TL;DR: In the state of Louisiana, accidents rank third among the top 10 leading causes of death in Louisiana, claiming more than 2,000 lives out of a total of almost 33,000 deaths as discussed by the authors.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
