Catherine C. McDonald,Catherine C. McDonald,Allison E. Curry,Allison E. Curry,Venk Kandadai,Marilyn S. Sommers,Flaura Koplin Winston,Flaura Koplin Winston +7 more
TL;DR: It is indicated that among those who make a driver critical error in a serious crash, there are few differences in the scenarios or critical driver errors for teen and adult drivers.

Adolescent crash rates and school start times in two central Virginia counties, 2009-2011: a follow-up study to a southeastern Virginia study, 2007-2008.

TL;DR: Higher teen crash rates occurred in jurisdictions with EHSST, as in the prior study, and post hoc analyses found significantly more run-off road crashes to the right (potentially sleep-related) in Chesterfield teens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Self-assessed driver competence among novice drivers – a comparison of driving test candidate assessments and examiner assessments in a Dutch and Finnish sample
TL;DR: To improve the accuracy of novice drivers' self-assessment, methods for self-ASSessment training should be developed and implemented in the driver licensing process.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Influence of Passengers on Older Drivers Involved in Fatal Crashes
Michel Bédard,Joanna R. Meyers +1 more
TL;DR: The presence of passengers was beneficial to older drivers and associated with a reduced risk of some unsafe actions but a higher risk of other actions, discussed in the context of strategies to maximize safe driving in older adults.
Journal ArticleDOI
Graduated driver licensing program component calibrations and their association with fatal crash involvement
TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify the GDL component calibrations associated with the largest reductions in fatal crash involvements for 16-17-year-olds in U.S. states, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand.

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.
