Urban sprawl and miles driven daily by teenagers in the United States.
TL;DR: Overall, teens in sprawling counties were more than twice as likely to drive >20 miles/day than teens in compact counties, and this trend was most prominent among the youngest drivers.

Novice drivers' exposure to known risk factors during the first 18 months of licensure: the effect of vehicle ownership.
Sheila G. Klauer,Bruce G. Simons-Morton,Suzanne Elin Lee,Marie Claude Ouimet,E. Henry Howard,Thomas A. Dingus +5 more
TL;DR: These findings are among the first objective data documenting the nature of teenage driving exposure to known risk factors and provide evidence that vehicle access is related to risk and suggest the potential safety benefit of parental management of novice teenagedriving exposure.
Journal ArticleDOI
An analysis of the relationship between driver characteristics and driving safety using structural equation models
TL;DR: Zhang et al. as mentioned in this paper investigated five illegal driving behaviors, including illegal passing, illegal lane changes, speeding, running red lights and distracted driving, based on a driving simulator.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hazard Anticipation of Novice and Experienced Drivers: Empirical Evaluation on a Driving Simulator in Daytime and Nighttime Conditions
TL;DR: The authors found that experienced drivers make more horizontal eye movements than do novice drivers in a driving simulator, since experienced drivers are more likely to examine specific areas of the visual display that could either contain a potential hazard or signal that a potentially hazardous situation is coming.

Twelve-month prevalence and changes in driving after drinking: United States, 1991-1992 and 2001-2002
S. Patricia Chou,Bridget F. Grant,Deborah A. Dawson,Frederick S. Stinson,Tulshi D. Saha,Roger P. Pickering +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors addressed the existing gap in our public health knowledge regarding the current prevalence of driving after drinking and how this has changed over the past decade, and highlighted the need to continue to monitor prevalence and changes in Driving after drinking.

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.
