Description
Young drivers, including motorcycle riders, are over-represented in crash statistics (Macdonald, Bowland, & Hancock, 1994; Swain & Blake, 1995). This has led researchers to investigate issues relating to young driver crash involvement and driving skill. Early work attempting to link these two concepts has been fraught with methodological problems that rendered the results inconclusive (Mayhew & Simpson, 1995). However, more recent and methodologically sound studies indicate: (1) that driving skills improve with experience; and (2) that more experience is related to fewer crashes (Gregersen & Bjurulf, 1996; Triggs & Smith, 1996). Forsyth (1992) quantified this relationship by suggesting that accident involvement decreases with increasing experience. In addition, there is further indication that young driver crashes are also related to individual motivational factors such as risk-taking (Triffs & Smith, 1996).
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
