Overestimated Crash Risks of Young and Elderly Drivers

TL;DR: The current findings are in contrast with reports of high crash risks among young and elderly drivers, and suggest that previous reports may have overestimated the crash risks of these drivers by failing to control for ages of all drivers involved in collisions.

Road rage victimization among adolescents

TL;DR: This study provides the first indication of prevalence of road rage victimization among adolescents, involving just over half of Ontario students in grades 7-12, and revealed that being a victim of shouting was significantly related to region, driver's license status, and grade.

Assessing the residual teen crash risk factors after graduated drivers license implementation.

TL;DR: For example, this article found that teen drivers were 2.40 (CI: 1.19-4.85) times more likely to be involved in a control loss crash and 1.88 (CI : 1.12-3.15) times higher likelihood to be in a road departure crash relative to adult drivers.

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.

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.
