Young Driver Research Program by John E. Catchpole,Monash University. Accident Research Centre Pdf

This study investigated the relative importance of youth and lack of driving experience as contributors to the over representation of young drivers in traffic crashes. Interviews were conducted with drivers aged 16-29 to collect information on their personal characteristics, travel patterns and crash histories. After allowing for differences in exposure (time spent driving), crash involvement was found to be associated with lack of driving experience and with high levels of recklessness. Recklessness was higher amongst young drivers. Drivers who obtain a licence relatively early were no more reckless than those who are licensed when somewhat older Young males were significantly more reckless than young females but did not have higher crash risk (after controlling for exposure). Thus, skill levels may be higher among young males, compensating for their greater recklessness. Although experience was found to be more important than age in determining crash risk, the high correlaton between the two means that the issue cannot be resolved beyond all doubt. Future research should directly address the skill and motivational variables elevant to crash risk, rather than relying on experience nd age as proxies. The present study has taken an mportant step in this direction by demonstrating that ecklessness is a better predictor of young driver crash nvolvement than age. The report concludes with ecommendations for countermeasure development. Driver licences. Driver experience. Driver age. Road accidents.

Young Driver Research Program by Alan E. Drummond,Monash University. Accident Research Centre Pdf

There are potential road safety benefits to be obtained from reducing the opportunity for young drivers to be involved in road crashes, that is, by reducing their driving exposure. This report identifies a range of technical and strategic issues which are relevant to a comprehensive discussion of such measures. This is an area in which there are no 'right ' answers : ultimately, an effective, efficient and equitable balance must be reached between a range of competing objectives in order to achieve a consensus policy position on the desirability of exposure reduction measures as one method for reducing your driver crashes.

Young Driver Research Program by Wendy A. Macdonald,Monash University. Accident Research Centre Pdf

This report reviews literature on young drivers' behavioural and personal characteristics in relation to their crash risk. Information is discussed within the framework of a theoretical model in which the major determinants of risk are : drivers' personal characteristics (skill, motivation) and their exposure to crash risk (both quantitative and qualitative factors). The review found that young drivers' skills are less developed than those of older drivers; research is required to define the types and amounts of experience needed to become a 'fully skilled ' driver; that young driver motivation differs in some important ways from that of older drivers; that decisions made prior to driving influence drivers' subsequent exposure to crash risk, independent of their actual driving performance; and that there is insufficient evidence to reach any clear conclusion on the issue of the 'young problem driver '.

Young Driver Research Program by Wendy A. Macdonald,Monash University. Accident Research Centre Pdf

A theoretical model of the determinants of young driver crash risk is outlined and some methodogical issues concerning types of available data, measures of crash risk and measures of exposure to risk are discussed. Within this framework, published literature on young driver crashes in Australia and other countries is reviewed. The general nature and magnitude of the problem is described in terms of data on fatal and serious injury crashes derived from mass databases; information from more detailed studies of sub-sets of crashes is used to provide a more comprehensive description of the patterns of occurrence & charateristic of young driver crashes. Information is discussed in relation to driver age, experience and gender, time of crash occurrence, passenger characteristics, crash type, pre-crash vehicle manoeuvres, driver errors, and alcohol and seatbelt offenses. Road accidents. Driver experience. Gender. Motivation Driver behaviour. Driver skill. Exposure. Driver age. Recently qualified drivers. Novice drivers.

A graduated licensing scheme was one of the elements of the 10 point road safety package announced by the then Prime Minister in December 1989 as part of the Federal Government's Road Safety Initiative, for adoption by States and Territories. The evaluation approach reported here comprised: Documentation of changes and the current position in th jurisdictions regarding regulation for novice drivers. A review of studies of the effects of components of Graduated Licensing Schemes. A review of studies of community and young driver attitudes to graduated licensing. A major survey of young driver knowledge, attitudes, compliance and perceptions and social costs associated with the components of graduated licensing. Driver licences. Learner driver. Drink driving.

Handbook of Teen and Novice Drivers by Donald L Fisher,Jeff Caird,William Horrey,Lana Trick Pdf

Despite a growing body of research and targeted remediation, teenage and novice drivers continue to be six to nine times more likely to die in a crash than they are when they are just a few years older. The World Health Organization reports that road traffic injuries are the leading cause of death globally among 15 to 19 year olds. In light of these crash statistics, understanding the teen driver problem remains of paramount public health importance around the world. The Handbook of Teen and Novice Drivers: Research, Practice, Policy, and Directions provides critical knowledge for a broad range of potential readers, including students, teachers, researchers in academics, industry and the federal government, public policy makers at all levels, insurance companies and automobile manufacturers, driving instructors, and parents and their teens.

Transportation, Traffic Safety and Health — Human Behavior by Hans von Holst,Ake Nygren,Ake E. Andersson Pdf

The focus of this book is to present the latest aspects in the area of human behavior and its relation to planning of an optimal traffic safety. The contributions from authors in various disciplines such as scientists, medical practitioners, administrators and practitioners from the car industry examine how road-user behavior can cause accidents and how decision-makers from various sectors of society may influence road users' behavior. The development of modern vehicles and new traffic systems requires more sophisticated behavior and technology. New medical technologies such as improved neuropsychologic methods and descriptive mapping of behavior with imaging techniques facilitate the understanding of the anatomy and physiology of human behavior. The increased knowledge of normal and pathologic behavior contributes to strenghten primary prevention with the goal of reducing traffic accidents.

Young Driver Research Program by Wendy A. Macdonald Pdf

This report presents an overview of results in other reports in this series which separately analysed Australian and USA mass crash databases. The focus was on identifying differences between the crash patterns of young and mature car drivers which occur consistently across databases, as well as consistent differences between daytime and night time crash patterns. Results showed that day/night differences were often large, and usually of similar magnitude for both young and mature drivers. Higher young driver compared to mature driver involvement was shown for single vehicle crashes, crashes occurring on curves or slopes, travelling above the speed limit or at excessive speed, and crashes where 'loss of control ' was identified as a casual factor.
