The racial and ethnic composition of the U.S. population is rapidly evolving. This is of substantial importance to traffic safety specialists because there is extensive evidence that the risk of involvement in traffic crashes varies significantly across racial and ethnic groups. Protective and risk factors affecting some groups may not be relevant to others. To be effective, safety programs and educational messages to curb such risks need to be sensitive to the nation's growing cultural diversity. This book reviews the state of knowledge of alcohol-impaired driving among major racial and ethnic groups living in the United States. Although it focuses primarily on impaired driving, it also covers the precursor issue of the differences in ethnic drinking practices. Finally, this book explores the meaning of key concepts that define the problem of the meaning of race, ethnicity, and acculturation; how these concepts are associated with health-related disparities; and how they relate to impaired driving.

Promoting safe operation of commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) and reducing the number and severity of crashes on U.S. roadways is critical to the mission of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). Research on distracted driving has increased over the past several years, due, in part, to the increasing number of reported crashes involving cellular telephone (cell phone) use while driving, recent literature reviews that highlighted some key findings and a study that described the magnitude of the problem in light (passenger) vehicles. There is a knowledge gap regarding the operation of trucks (three-axle or more trucks and tractor trailers/tankers) and buses (including transit and motor coaches, but referred to as "buses" hereafter) in regards to distracted driving and, more specifically, cell phone use and tenting while driving. The aim of this book is to use existing data to document the prevalence of distractions while driving a commercial motor vehicle.
