The effect of distractions on the crash types of teenage drivers
David M. Neyens,Linda Ng Boyle +1 more
TL;DR: Teenage drivers that were distracted at an intersection by passengers or cognitively were more likely to be involved in rear-end and angular collisions when compared to fixed-object collisions, and Implications for identifying and improving the reporting of driver distraction related factors are discussed.
Countermeasures That Work: A Highway Safety Countermeasure Guide for State Highway Safety Offices [Second Edition, 2007]
James H. Hedlund,W. A. Leaf +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a basic reference to assist State Highway Safety Offices (SHSO) in selecting effective, science-based traffic safety countermeasures for major highway safety problem areas.

Influences on youthful driving behavior and their potential for guiding interventions to reduce crashes
TL;DR: This paper presents an organized, comprehensive view of the factors known to influence young drivers’ behavior and how those factors might inform interventions to reduce crashes, from the perspective of a public health professional interested in preventing injury and death among young people from motor vehicle crashes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Graduated Licensing Laws and Fatal Crashes of Teenage Drivers: A National Study
TL;DR: Graduated licensing laws that include strong nighttime and passenger restrictions and laws that delay the learner's permit age and licensing age are associated with lower teenage fatal crash rates, and states that adopt such laws can expect to achieve substantial reductions in crash deaths.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationships between driving simulator performance and driving test results
TL;DR: A theoretical framework that quantifies driver proficiency in terms of speed of task execution, violations and errors is proposed and it is recommended that researchers conduct more large-scale studies into the reliability and validity of simulator measures and on-road driving tests.

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.
