Effects of graduated driver licensing on licensure and traffic injury rates in
Motao Zhu,Haitao Chu,Guohua Li +2 more
TL;DR: In 2003, New York State implemented an enhanced graduated driving licensing (GDL) program that requires extended supervised driving and a passenger restriction, and examined its safety benefit in 55 Upstate New York counties as discussed by the authors.

Trajectories of self-regulatory driving practices: Role of learner phase practice.
M. Grace Albright,Benjamin McManus,Sylvie Mrug,Robin Gaines Lanzi,Andrea T. Underhill,Despina Stavrinos +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the relationship between learner phase driving practice diversity and teen self-regulatory driving practices over the first six months of licensure and found that practice diversity in simple environments (e.g., in a residential area, in a parking lot) was associated with more self-regulated driving practices at baseline.
The value of self-report measures as indicators of driving behaviors among young drivers
TL;DR: In this article, a series of two studies employed multivariate statistical models to examine associations between self-report and objective measures in two samples of young drivers, and found positive associations between high scores on the risky and hostile driving styles measured by the MDSI and risky behaviors measured by an in-vehicle data recorder (IVDR).
A Pilot Study Investigating Comprehension of Driving Vocabulary in Adolescents with Language Impairment
TL;DR: This article investigated if adolescents with LI are at increased risk relative to unimpaired peers at struggling to comprehend driving-related vocabulary found in driving preparation material and found a strong positive correlation between accuracy on the Driving-Related Picture Vocabulary Task and overall oral language skills in adolescents.

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.
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.
