Age and gender differences in risky driving: The roles of positive affect and risk perception
TL;DR: Positive affect more strongly predicted risky driving for teen and male drivers than for adult and female drivers, and future research into interventions designed to moderate the positive affect surrounding driving may have promise for reducing risky driving behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI
Highly automated driving, secondary task performance, and driver state.
TL;DR: Highly automated driving did not have a deleterious effect on driver performance, when attention was not diverted to the distracting secondary task.

Using eye movements to evaluate effects of driver age on risk perception in a driving simulator.
Ashoke Kumar Pradhan,Kim R. Hammel,Rosa DeRamus,Alexander Pollatsek,David A Noyce,Donald L. Fisher +5 more
TL;DR: There were significant age-related differences in driver scanning behavior, consistent with the hypothesis that novice drivers' scanning patterns reflect their failure to acquire information about potential risks and their consequent failure to deal with these risks.

The choice to text and drive in younger drivers: Behavior may shape attitude
TL;DR: A factor analysis of the perception of road conditions while texting revealed that making the choice to engage in texting (initiating) led drivers to perceive road conditions as being safer than if they replied to a text or read a text, suggesting that choosing in the behavior itself changes attitudes toward risk.
Journal ArticleDOI
Technology and teen drivers
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the effects of technology on teen driving and draw an analogy between passengers and the effects on technology, and show that technology can act as a teen passenger and undermine safety, or act as an adult passenger and enhance safety.

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 accident liability of car drivers
TL;DR: In this paper, a statistical model was developed to predict the accident liability for an individual driver as a function of relevant explanatory variables, such as age, driving experience, sex, Socioeconomic group (SEG), and annual mileage by type of road.

An instrumented vehicle assessment of problem behavior and driving style:: Do younger males really take more risks?
Thomas E. Boyce,E. Scott Geller +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an instrumented vehicle was used to obtain behavioral data from 61 drivers ranging in age from 18 to 82 and each driver completed a personality questionnaire and participated in a study described as an evaluation of cognitive mapping and way-finding abilities.
