The Effectiveness of Driver Education and Information Programs in the State of Nevada
TL;DR: In this article, two different surveys were conducted in Clark County, Southern Nevada to assess the strengths and limitations of the current driver education programs in Nevada by capturing the opinions and attitudes of those who went through the process as teenagers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Current knowledge on adolescent driver distraction.
TL;DR: This Supplement examines distraction among young drivers broadly, rather than focusing narrowly on one or two sources of distraction, and addresses the topic in a manner that is relevant to both researchers and practitioners dedicated to enhancing the health, safety, and well-being of adolescents.
ReportDOI
Prevalence and distribution of young driver distraction errors in naturalistic driving
TL;DR: This document summarizes current capabilities, research and operational priorities, and plans for further studies that were established at the 2015 USGS workshop on quantitative hazard assessments of earthquake-triggered landsliding and liquefaction in the Central American region.
System-Wide Safety Treatments and Design Guidance for J-Turns : Final Report
TL;DR: In an effort Toward Zero Deaths (TZD) the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) initiated a research project to develop guidance on treatments that can reduce crashes and fatalities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Risk Factors for Traumatic Exposure and Posttraumatic Stress Symptoms
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the role of personality traits in the risk for exposure to a traumatic event and the development of posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) and measured the contribution of subjective experience of the traumatic event to PTSS, finding that individuals who scored high on neuroticism, while making the effort to avoid traumas, perceived and experienced traumatic exposures as a threat and hence were more susceptible to developing PTSS.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
