TLDR
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.About:

Teenage drivers: patterns of risk.
TL;DR: Patterns of risk among teenage drivers form the basis for graduated licensing systems, which are designed to promote low-risk and discourage high-risk driving.
Journal ArticleDOI
Driver injury severity: an application of ordered probit models.
TL;DR: The results suggest that pickups and sport utility vehicles are less safe than passenger cars under single-vehicle crash conditions and that males and younger drivers in newer vehicles at lower speeds sustain less severe injuries.

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.

Cognitive load and detection thresholds in car following situations: safety implications for using mobile (cellular) telephones while driving.
TL;DR: It was concluded that neither a hands-free option nor a voice controlled interface removes the safety problems associated with the use of mobile phones in a car.
Journal ArticleDOI
The observed effects of teenage passengers on the risky driving behavior of teenage drivers.
TL;DR: The presence of male teenage passengers was associated with risky driving behavior among teenage drivers.

Traffic Safety and the Driver
TL;DR: This book is concerned with fatalities, injuries, and property damage from traffic crashes--their origin and nature, and ways to prevent their occurrence and reduce their severity.

Reckless driving in adolescence: 'state' and 'trait' factors.
TL;DR: Analysis of data indicated that the participants drove faster when in an angry mood than when in any other mood, and they drove better when alone or with friends than when their parents were present.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determinants of intention to commit driving violations.
TL;DR: Ajzen's theory of planned behaviour was used to measure the attitudes and intentions of a large stratified sample of drivers towards four driving violations and was able to identify attitude items differentiating the younger, statistically more "accident liable" drivers in the sample from their older, and statistically safer counterparts.
