Abstract:Motor vehicle crashes remain a leading cause of death among young people (Webb, 2018). Although young drivers represented only 5.4% of all licensed drivers in 2016, they represented 8.9% of drivers in fatal crashes (National Center for Statistics and Analysis, 2018). Many factors influence young drivers’ risk of crash, including age-related immaturity, lack of experience, and engagement in risky behaviors like speeding and distraction. To better understand these factors and to design more effective countermeasures to address them, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration conducted a survey of the self-reported traffic safety behaviors, attitudes, and beliefs of young drivers.
