Hamed Al Reesi,Abdullah Al Maniri,Samir Al Adawi,Jeremy D. Davey,Kerry Armstrong,Jason Edwards +5 more
TL;DR: From these findings, the introduction of a graduated driver licensing system with nighttime driving restrictions could significantly improve young driver safety in Oman.

Designing feedback to mitigate teen distracted driving: A social norms approach
Maryam Merrikhpour,Birsen Donmez +1 more
TL;DR: Questionnaire results suggest that teens appeared to overestimate parental norms, but no effect of feedback was found on their perceptions, and feedback systems that leverage social norms can help mitigate driver distraction among teens.

Neuromaturation and Adolescent Risk Taking: Why Development Is Not Determinism
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that those who study adolescent neuromaturation are biological determinists who ignore the profound social and environmental forces that influence adolescent behavior to further their own agendas.

Translational research in child and adolescent transportation safety.
TL;DR: Two examples of translational research in transportation injury prevention suggest the utility of systematic programs of research designed to improve the translation into practice of MVC and injury prevention technology and policy.

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.
