Journal ArticleDOI
Michigan's graduated driver licensing program: evaluation of the first four years.
Jean T. Shope,Lisa J. Molnar +1 more
TL;DR: Even after adjusting for more general population-wide changes among drivers 25 years and older that might have contributed to changes in 16-year-old crash risk, reductions remained impressive (19% for all crashes in 2001).
Journal ArticleDOI
Young drivers -- Reduced crash risk with passengers in the vehicle
TL;DR: Passengers had an overall protective effect, that is, the crash risk was higher for those who drove alone, regardless of their age or gender, and this protective effect increased with every extra passenger, indicating that the more passengers in the vehicle, the safer the driving.

Experimental effects of injunctive norms on simulated risky driving among teenage males.

TL;DR: Exposure of teenage males to a risk-accepting confederate peer increased teenage males' risky simulated driving behavior compared with exposure to arisk-averse confederates peer, indicating that variability in teenage risky driving could be partially explained by social norms.

Differences in Off-Road Glances: Effects on Young Drivers’ Performance

TL;DR: In this article, a driving simulator study with 53 young drivers (aged 18-21) was conducted to assess the level of engagement with an in-vehicle secondary task, and a cluster analysis revealed three groups of drivers that differed based on eye glance behavior and driving performance: drivers with low-risk, moderate-risk and high-risk behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI
Parents' views of teen driving risks, the role of parents, and how they plan to manage the risks
TL;DR: Parents do not seem to see or understand the risks of having even one teen passenger in the vehicle, and the views and existing practices of parents need to be taken into account in deciding on the provisions of graduated licensing legislation.

Journal ArticleDOI
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.
