Keep on cruising: Changes in lifestyle and driving style among male drivers between the age of 18 and 23
Mette Møller,Sonja Haustein +1 more
TL;DR: While most drivers reduced their level of cruising as well as related problem behaviour over time, a smaller group still showed a similar life style at the age of 23, which confirmed the importance of lifestyle related motivational factors for driving behaviour among young drivers.

Driver anger in France: The relationships between sex, gender roles, trait and state driving anger and appraisals made while driving
TL;DR: In this paper, a study aimed to further understand the relationships between sex, gender identity, trait and state driving anger and situational appraisals made while driving, and to validate the 33-item Driving Anger Scale (DAS) in a sample of drivers from France.
Driving patterns of young drivers within a graduated driver licensing system
Tsippy Lotan,Tomer Toledo +1 more
TL;DR: A novel experiment uses information gathered from an in-vehicle data recorder (IVDR) to characterize the driving behavior of young drivers in the accompanied driving period and the period immediately thereafter and to evaluate the effectiveness of the GDL system.

Estimating young novice drivers' compliance with graduated driver licensing restrictions: a novel approach
TL;DR: An alternative and complementary approach to estimating population-level compliance with GDL nighttime and passenger restrictions via application of the quasi-induced exposure (QIE) method is proposed and formative work is described to ensure this method can be validly applied among young intermediate drivers.
Journal ArticleDOI
The pattern of fatalities by age, seat belt usage and time of day on road accidents.
TL;DR: Female drivers were found to be generally safer drivers than their male counterparts; male drivers not using a seat belt had a higher involvement rate in road traffic accidents; and time of day analyses suggested that the problem of accidents in darkness are not a matter of visibility, but of the way drivers use the roads at night.

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.

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.

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.
