Journal ArticleDOI
Does the built environment affect when American teens become drivers? Evidence from the 2001 National Household Travel Survey
TL;DR: The results suggest teens living in less dense and more sprawling communities initiate driving at a younger age than comparable teens in compact areas, placing them at increased risk for crash related injuries.
Factors contributing to crashes among young drivers
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the factors that affect the risk of young drivers crashing to enable a fuller understanding of why this risk is so high in order to assist in developing effective countermeasures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aggressive driving behaviour in young drivers (aged 16 through 25) involved in fatal crashes.
TL;DR: The study indicates that tackling impaired driving is not sufficient to drastically reduce aggressive driving among the youngest drivers, and supports the use of graduated licensing approaches.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of simulated day and night driving on the speed differential in tangent-curve transition: a pilot study using driving simulator.
Francesco Bella,Alessandro Calvi +1 more
TL;DR: Limiting the speed analysis only to daytime driving conditions cannot exclude the possibility that during nighttime driving some road configurations could become unsafe, and highlights the need to carry out design consistency evaluations for nighttime driving conditions.
Accidental injury, risk-taking behaviour and the social circumstances in which young people (aged 12-24) live: a systematic review
TL;DR: A large systematic review of unintended injury in England and Wales found that the use of drugs is associated with an increased risk of accidental death among young people and that 12–24 year olds are less at risk than those immediately older; however, risk of death increases with length of drug use, so there is value in targeting interventions at this age group.

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.
