“…Little is known of what teenagers perceive as driving dangers, factors to enhance safety, or ways to present interventions that resonate with youths. 44,[47][48][49][50][51][52] To effectively influence teenaged drivers' safety, we must understand risk and safety from their viewpoint.…”

National Young-Driver Survey: Teen Perspective and Experience With Factors That Affect Driving Safety

Adolescents generally understand the danger of intoxicated driving. However, some groups need to better recognize this hazard. Distractions take teenagers' focus off the road, but not all are viewed as hazardous. Although inexperience is the key factor that interacts with other conditions to cause crashes, adolescents do not recognize what merits experience. Future research is needed to explore how to help teens become safer drivers and how to make clinicians, families, and communities more effective in setting, promoting, and monitoring safety standards.

“…Juarez et al reported that multisectoral prevention strategies which are culturally appropriate and engage the target population are effective. 31 In the context of the Erbil community in Iraq, prevention strategies could include the implementation of educational and awareness programmes for medical students. These programmes would aim to reduce enjoyment of risky driving behaviours, improve risk perception and remind students to act as role models for safe driving behaviour.…”

abstract:Objectives: This study aimed to assess risky driving behaviours among medical students in Erbil, Iraq, and to explore the relationship between risky driving behaviours and perceptions of risky driving. Methods: This self-administered questionnaire-based survey was conducted from January to May 2014 among a random sample of 400 medical students at Hawler Medical University in Erbil. The questionnaire was designed to assess the frequency of engagement in 21 risky driving behaviours, the perceived risk of each behaviour and the preference for each behaviour as ranked on a 5-point scale. Results: A total of 386 students responded to the survey (response rate: 96.5%). Of these, 211 reported that they currently drove a vehicle (54.7%). Drivers most frequently engaged in the following behaviours: playing loud music (35.9%), speeding (30.4%), allowing front seat passengers to not wear seat belts (27.9%) and using mobile phones (27.7%). Least frequent driving behaviours included not stopping at a red light (3.9%), driving while sleepy (4.4%), driving after a mild to moderate intake of alcohol (4.5%) and drunk driving (6.4%). Mean risky driving behaviour scores were significantly higher among males (P <0.001) and those who owned a car (P = 0.002). The mean risk perception score was higher among >20-year-olds (P = 0.028). There was a significant positive relationship between the preference for risky behaviours and risky driving behaviours (beta = 0.44; P <0.001). Conclusion: Medical students in Erbil reported high frequencies of several serious risky driving behaviours. The preference for risky behaviours was found to be an important predictor of risky driving behaviours among medical students in Erbil.

“…7,15,18 As more evidence-based DE programs are implemented and rigorously evaluated, attention should be paid to possible implications of underutilization by lower-income, male and minority teens, especially given that these groups are reported to have higher rates of risky driving behaviors and crashes. 19,20 Because …”

Variation in Teen Driver Education by State Requirements and Sociodemographics

WHAT'S KNOWN ON THIS SUBJECT: Most states require driver education (DE) for novice drivers, and several recent substantial efforts have sought to realign DE with the aim of producing safer drivers. However, teen participation rates and how they differ among relevant subgroups remain unknown. WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS:This study provides national estimates of teen driver participation in formal DE, a recognized gap in the literature, and identifies disparities in behind-the-wheel training among certain racial/ethnic, socioeconomic, and gender groups, particularly in jurisdictions without a DE requirement. abstract OBJECTIVE: There is renewed attention on national standardization of formal driver education (DE) instruction and momentum toward realigning DE with its original goal of producing safer teen drivers. However, teen DE participation rates and how they differ among sociodemographic groups and in states with and without DE requirements remain largely unknown. Thus, our objective was to estimate national teen participation rates in formal classroom and behind-the-wheel DE instruction in relevant demographic subgroups and also estimate subgroup-specific participation rates by presence of a state DE requirement.METHODS: Data were collected via the National Young Driver Survey, administered to a nationally representative sample of 5665 public school 9th-through 11th-graders in Spring 2006. Analyses were restricted to 1770 students with driver licenses. Survey data were weighted to reflect national prevalence estimates. RESULTS:Overall, 78.8% of students reported participating in formal DE. However, in states without DE requirements, more than 1 in 3 students had no formal DE before licensure, and more than half had no behind-the-wheel training. Hispanics, blacks, males, and students with lower academic achievement participated in DE at markedly lower levels than counterparts in states with requirements. Notably, 71% of Hispanic students in states with no requirement received a license without receiving formal DE. Inexperience is a main underlying factor contributing to the high per-mile crash rate of novice teen drivers. 1 Crash rates drop as novice drivers gain road experience postlicensure, illustrating the benefit of behind-the-wheel (BTW) experience to teen driving safety. 2 During the learning-to-drive phase, this experience may be gained through adult-supervised instruction and practice, which allow for acquisition of knowledge of the rules of the road, basic maneuvering and vehicle handling skills, and abilities to recognize hazards and avoid crashes. 3 One forum through which formal supervised instruction may occur during the learner phase is driver education (DE), which traditionally includes 30 hours in the classroom and 6 hours BTW with a certified driving instructor. Although an originally stated key objective of DE was to produce safer teen drivers, evaluations have failed to show that DE reduces crash rates. 4 This may be due in part to a digression between a largely unchanged DE framework and scientif...
