In the last decade, nearly every state in the U.S. has introduced a
Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) program to limit the exposure of
teenage drivers to high-risk conditions during the first years
after licensure. This book evaluates the effectiveness of GDL
programs in reducing teen traffic fatalities over the period
between 1992 and 2006. This book also investigates the
psychological functions of driving and risky driving as perceived
by adolescents and the factors underlying psychological functions
of driving and risky driving. Furthermore, the impact of accident
duration on traffic congestion is also analysed, as well as the
multiple factors that may affect driving performance. Other
chapters in this book examine the injury risks experienced by
vulnerable road users and challenges in obtaining accurate
information on the magnitude and circumstances of their crashes,
studies where human factors related to occupational accidents are
analysed, and an evaluation of the factors that are associated with
the risk perception to have night-time car crashes in young
drivers, as well as the strategies most commonly used to counteract
sleepiness at the wheels. Implications of the study on road safety
and recommendations for future research are also discussed.
