Abstract:

A literature review and accident data analyses were conducted to examine the ; relationship between vehicle familiarity and safety. The infonmation from these ; diverse sources was consistent in suggesting that drivers of passenger cars and . ; motorcycles are having safety problems adjusting to unfamiliar vehicles. This ; problem was not caused by low total driver experience but by inexperience with ; the accident-involved vehicle. Estimates were made of the extent of this problem ; and recommendations were suggested to better understand the causes of the problem ; and identify possible countenmeasures.
