The contribution of alcohol to night time crash risk and other risks of night driving.
TL;DR: Given the levels of drinking and driving on weekend nights, the overall effect of alcohol was shown to contribute almost half of weekend night time risk for drivers aged under 40 on lower volume roads, but to contribute little to overall risk on higher-volume roads, consistent with other research showing that higher- volume roads are not favoured by drinking drivers.

Ride‐Sharing, Fatal Crashes, and Crime
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate whether the introduction of the ride-sharing service Uber is associated with changes in fatal vehicle crashes and crime, and find that Uber's entry lowers the rate of DUIs and fatal accidents.

Graduated driver licensing (GDL) in the United States in 2016: A literature review and commentary
TL;DR: GDL stands out as a successful policy for reducing teen driver crashes and is worth building on to extend its benefits, and strengthening existing GDL programs has the most potential for producing further crash reductions.

Prefrontal Cortex Activation and Young Driver Behaviour: A fNIRS Study
TL;DR: It is concluded that prefrontal cortex activity is associated with the mental workload required for overtaking, and the reduced activation in younger drivers may be related to a lack of prefrontal maturation which could contribute to the increased crash risk seen in this population.

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.
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.
