| 摘要： | The specific objective of this study was to assess the relative propensity of a young driver in Connecticut to cause a traffic crash (1) when traveling at night, (2) when traveling on different classes of roadway (freeway versus non-freeway) and (3) when traveling with different numbers and ages of passengers. The quasi induced exposure technique was used with police report crashes between 1997 and 2001 for young drivers between the age of 16 and 20 years in the state of Connecticut. The results show that young driver risk increases at night, on freeways (and for single vehicle crashes on local roads), as well as with increased numbers of passengers. Very few confounding effects were found through two dimensional analysis. In other words, these general patterns hold true for different groups of young drivers and during various driving circumstances. These results indicate that the current graduated driver licensing restrictions in place in Connecticut will reduce crashes and that there is the potential to improve young driver safety further by extending these restrictions. / NOTE: Final rept. / Supplementary Notes: Sponsored by Connecticut Dept. of Transportation, Rocky Hill. / Availability Note: Order this product from NTIS by: phone at 1-800-553-NTIS (U.S. customers); (703)605-6000 (other countries); fax at (703)605-6900; and email at orders@ntis.gov.
