Abstract:

This study addresses the statistical relationship between driver familiarity with

vehicles and accident frequency. In 1981, 8.9 percent of all drivers in NASS-reported

automobile accidents had less than 150 miles driving experience with the accident

vehicle. Our best estimate of the share of driving done by this group is 1.5 percent.

The study examined the NASS data for reporting bias and performed statistical tests

to determine whether other factors explain the hightened risk. The study concluded

that driving experience with the vehicle per se is an important factor influencing

accident risk.

The study suggests an inexpensive countermeasure and recommends that additional

information which could be collected in NASS might lead to an even more cost-effective

countermeasure.
