Novice drivers and parents: exploring the feasibility of third-party policing in reducing young driver offending
TL;DR: This paper explored the feasibility of using this approach with parents, who would be the third party, and young drivers in the Australian Capital Territory and found that given parents are supportive of the formal policing of young drivers and their willingness to impose additional restrictions on their children, that the introduction of an intervention based on a third-party policing framework is feasible.

Developing and Testing Operational Definitions for Functional and Higher Order Driving Instruction
TL;DR: In this paper, the amount and type of driving instruction provided to novice teen drivers during the learner period may be associated with future crash risk, and the authors test these definitions in a sample of newly licensed novice teenage drivers during their first ten hours of supervised driving.

Chinese carless young drivers' self-reported driving behavior and simulated driving performance.
TL;DR: Carless young drivers had poorer driving performance and were more overconfident of their self-reported driving skills compared to those young drivers with greater access to vehicles; immediate interventions are needed to help them increase driving exposure and gain driving experience gradually before moving to more challenging on-road driving tasks.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated whether parents and teenagers discuss issues of driving safely, and whether there is an association between these conversations and driving restrictions, and found that the parents who discuss road safety issues with their children are more likely to apply restrictions on teenagers' driving.

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.

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.

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.
