The effect on teenage risky driving of feedback from a safety monitoring system: a randomized controlled trial.
Bruce G. Simons-Morton,C. Raymond Bingham,Marie Claude Ouimet,Marie Claude Ouimet,Anuj K. Pradhan,Rusan Chen,Andrea Ippel Barretto,Jean T. Shope +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of two forms of feedback about risky driving events to teenagers only or to teenagers and their parents was tested in a randomized controlled trial, and the results showed that teenagers preferred risk, preferring risk or the lack of consequences.

Effect of drivers’ risk perception and perception of driving tasks on road safety attitude
Tika Ram,Khem Chand +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the effect of drivers' risk perception and perception of driving tasks on road safety attitude and found that both the perceptions significantly affect drivers' road safety attitudes.

Analysis of factors associated with injury severity in crashes involving young New Zealand drivers.
TL;DR: Estimates of discrete choice models of injury severity of crashes involving young drivers conditional on these crashes having occurred show that the young drivers' behavior, the presence of passengers and the involvement of vulnerable road users were the most relevant factors associated with higher injury severity in both single-Vehicle and two-vehicle crashes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Crash involvement during the different phases of the New Zealand Graduated Driver Licensing System (GDLS)
TL;DR: The crash profiles provide an insight into the crash risk associated with different phases of the New Zealand GDLS, and show that the initial learner period of the GDLS is relatively safe and the time at which novice drivers have the highest rate of crash involvement is during the first few months of solo driving.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect on teen driving outcomes of the Checkpoints Program in a state-wide trial
TL;DR: This is the first study to report significant effects on teen driving behavior and performance of education designed to increase parental-imposed teen driving limits.

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.
