For example, both fragility (as defined by risk of death when involved in a crash) and the rate of crash involvement steadily increase with age among drivers in this age group (Li et al. 2003).
The misperception of vehicle approach speed is a key contributory factor to road traffic crash involvement.
Older drivers are at increased risk of crash involvement per mile traveled.
It also found that, in contrast, carrying adult passengers significantly reduced the risks of crash involvement.
Although driver training programs are currently popular, the degree to which they reduce crash involvement remains ambiguous.
In turn, risky driving was positively related to self-reported crash involvement and higher number of issued traffic tickets.
A prospective cohort study was conducted to identify risk and protective factors for crash involvement in older motorcyclists.
Population-adjusted risks of any crash involvement of 16-year-old drivers in Michigan and North Carolina were reduced by 25%and27%7%, respectively.
These results indicate that drug use is associated with a significantly increased risk of fatal crash involvement, particularly when used in combination with alcohol.
Population-adjusted risks of injury/fatal crash involvement of 16-year-old drivers in Florida and Michigan were reduced by 11% and 24%, respectively.
In young people who drive after drinking, the relative risk for crash involvement is greater at all percentages of blood alcohol contents than for older drivers who drink.
