“…8 Carrying additional passengers is also a risk factor for fatal crashes involving teenage drivers, especially when the passengers are also teens. [7][8][9][10][11][12][13] Other differences between novice and experienced drivers may be related to the circumstances in which they drive. For example, a greater proportion of fatal crashes among novice drivers occurs at night 7,[9][10][11] and during the weekends.…”

“…This elevated crash risk among teen drinking drivers may result from several factors. One may be inexperience and underdeveloped driving skills (Committee on Injury and Poison Prevention and Committee on Adolescence, 1996;Jonah, 1986;Ulmer et al, 1997). Another factor may be the consumption patterns of underage drinkers, who typically consume larger amounts of alcohol in a single sitting compared with adult drinkers (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, 2003); hence, when they do drink and drive, they are likely to have higher BACs than adult drinking drivers.…”

ABSTRACT. Objective: Teens drink/drive less often than adults but are more likely to crash when they do drink/drive. This study identifi ed alcohol-related crash types for which teen drivers were at greater risk compared with adults. Method: Michigan State Police crash records for drivers ages 16-19 (teens) and 45-65 years (adults) who experienced at least one crash from 1989 to 1996 were used to create alcohol crash types consisting of alcohol-related crashes that included specifi c combinations of other crash characteristics, such as drinking and driving at night (i.e., alcohol/nighttime). These data were combined with data from the 1990 and 1995 National Personal Travel Surveys and the 2001 National Household Travel Survey to estimate rates and rate ratios of alcohol-related crash types based on person-miles driven. Results: Teens were relatively less likely than adults to be involved in alcohol-related crashes but were signifi cantly more likely to be in alcohol-related crashes that included other crash characteristics. Teen males' crash risk was highest when drinking and driving with a passenger, at night, at night with a passenger, and at night on the weekend, and casualties were more likely to result from alcohol-related nighttime crashes. All the highest risk alcohol-related crash types for teen female drinking drivers involved casualties and were most likely to include speeding, passenger presence, and nighttime driving. Conclusions: The frequency with which passengers, nighttime or weekend driving, and speeding occurred in the highest risk alcohol-related crash types for teens suggests that these characteristics should be targeted by policies, programs, and enforcement to reduce teen alcohol-related crash rates.

Parent–Teen Disagreement of Parent-Imposed Restrictions on Teen Driving After One Month of Licensure: Is Discordance Related to Risky Teen Driving?

2005

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The purpose of the investigation was to determine if parent-teen discordance for parent-imposed restrictions on driving conditions, driving rules, and the consequences for driving rule violations were related to risky teen driving. A total of 579 parents and their newly licensed teens were interviewed by telephone, 1 month after teens obtained provisional licenses. In multiple regression analyses, the degree of disagreement with parent restrictions on driving conditions and parent-imposed consequences for driving rule violations were negatively associated with a composite measure of teen risky driving. Female parents were negatively associated and male teens were positively associated with risky driving, but discordance with restricted driving conditions was the most important predictor. Discordance may reflect poor parent-teen relations or inadequate communication about parental expectations. The findings suggest that increasing parent-teen concordance on parent-imposed driving restrictions may help reduce risky teen driving.
