Teen Drivers

In the U.S., 16 and 17 year-old drivers have horrendous motor vehicle crash rates. Young teen drivers are also vastly over-involved in fatal traffic crashes. In order to better understand the causes of this teen driver crash problem and then develop appropriate countermeasures, the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety commissioned the first comprehensive re-examination in more than 20 years of what novice drivers need to learn and do in order to be safe drivers. The resultant research report (Lonero, et al., 1995) led to the creation of an innovative, computer-based risk management training program for teen drivers, released in February, 1998.

The Impact

Determination of the impact of Traffic Safety Programs (TSPs) on motor vehicle crash rates forces the evaluator to utilize N of 1 quasi-experimental designs. A variety of procedures which take into account the serial dependency frequently observed in such data is described, and their application to assessment of change in crash time series is illustrated.

Adolescent Risk

Teenagers’ high rates of motor vehicle crashes, accounting for 40% of external deaths among 16-19 yearolds, have been ascribed largely to inherent “adolescent risk-taking” and developmental hazards. However, the fact that compared to adults 25 and older, teenagers are twice as likely to live in poverty and low-income areas, risk factors for many types of violent death, has not been assessed. This paper uses Fatality Analysis Reporting System data on 65,173 fatal motor vehicle crashes by drivers in California’s 35 most populous counties for 1994-2007 to analyze fatal crash involvements per 100 million miles driven by driver age, county, poverty status, and 15 other traffic safety-related variables. Fatal crash rates were substantially higher for every driver age group in poorer counties than in richer ones. Multivariate regression found socioeconomic factors, led by the low levels of licensing and high unemployment rates prevalent in low-income areas, were associated with nearly 60% of the variance in motor vehicle crash risks, compared to 3% associated with driver age. The strong association between fatal crash risk and poverty, especially for young drivers who are concentrated in high-poverty brackets and low-income areas, suggests that factors related to poorer environments constitute a major traffic safety risk requiring serious attention.

Overall Risk

This case study describes the considerations, challenges, and lessons learned in developing this online course, which is the foundation of an overall risk management training program for the Firm. Risk management is a very broad, deep, and complex topic which impacts the practice of law in many different ways. Recognizing that it is in meaningful discussions where learning most likely takes place, the project team’s challenge was to design an e-learning course that allows sufficient interactivity to engage the learner and stimulate thinking around issues they encounter in whatever legal area, and at whatever level they practice.

Abstract Acute cannabis use results in inattention, delayed information processing, impaired coordination, and slowed reaction time. Driving simulator studies and epidemiologic analyses suggest that cannabis use increases motor vehicle crash risk. How much concern should we have regarding cannabis associated motor vehicle collision risks among younger drivers? This article summarizes why young, inexperienced drivers may be at a particularly high risk of crashing after using cannabis. We describe the epidemiology of cannabis use among younger drivers, why combining cannabis with alcohol causes significant impairment and why cannabis edibles may pose a heightened risk to traffic safety. We provide recommendations for clinicians counselling younger drivers about cannabis use and driving.

The US Department of Homeland Security identified college sport venues as terrorist targets due to the potential for mass casualties and catastrophic social and economic impact. Therefore, it is critical for college sport safety and security personnel to implement effective risk management practices. However, deficiencies have been identified in the level of preparedness of college sport event security personnel related to risk management training and effective emergency response capabilities. To address the industry need, the National Center for Spectator Sports Safety and Security designed, developed, and evaluated a national sport event risk management training program for National Collegiate Athletic Association command groups. The purpose of this article was to provide an overview of the design, development, and evaluation process.

Background/Objectives: Thirty states allow licensing agencies to restrict the distance from home that medically–at–risk drivers are permitted to drive. However, there is little information on where older drivers crash relative to their home or how distance to crash varies by medical condition, and thus, what impact distance limits may have on motor vehicle crash rates for medically–at–risk drivers. Design: Observational study of crash-involved drivers. Setting: Medicare fee–for–service claims linked to geocoded crash locations and residential addresses from police crash reports in the state of New Jersey from 2007 through 2017. Participants: New Jersey Medicare fee–for–service beneficiaries aged 68 years and older involved in police–reported crashes. Measurements: The outcome was Euclidian distance from home to crash location. Covariates included driving-relevant medical conditions from Medicare claims, crash characteristics from police reports, and demographics from both sources. Results: There were 197,122 crash-involved older drivers for whom approximately 70% of crashes occurred within 5 miles and 95% within 25 miles of the drivers residence. The mean distance to crash was 6.0 miles. Although distance from home to the crash was generally lower among drivers with (versus without) each of the medical conditions studied, the differences were small (maximum mean difference of 2.1 miles). The largest difference in distance was by licensure status, where unlicensed/suspended drivers crashed significantly farther from home than validly licensed drivers (8.8 miles, 95% Confidence Interval [CI]: 8.4—9.1 vs 5.9 miles, 95% CI: 5.9 — 6.0). Conclusions: Findings suggest that the majority of older adults who crash do so within a few miles from home and that the distance to crash does not differ substantially by the presence of a driving–relevant medical condition. Thus, distance restrictions may not reduce crash rates among older adults and the tradeoff between safety and mobility warrants consideration.
