Effects of parental vigilant care and feedback on novice driver risk.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that parental training in vigilant care may help reduce driving risk and the no feedback group was found superior to the family feedback group.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spying or steering? Views of parents of young novice drivers on the use and ethics of driver-monitoring technologies.

TL;DR: In-vehicle technologies that document driving practices have the potential to enhance the driving safety of young drivers, but their installation depends largely on their parents' willingness and raises ethical dilemmas.

Crash types: markers of increased risk of alcohol-involved crashes among teen drivers.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identified alcohol-related crash types for which teen drivers were at greater risk compared with adults and identified crash characteristics such as drinking and driving at night (i.e., alcohol/nighttime).
Journal ArticleDOI

The distortion of information to support an emerging evaluation of risk

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that there is a substantial desirability bias even when there is no prior disposition toward any outcome, and that such a bias should not occur in the absence of prior dispositions toward those outcomes.

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.

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.
