Abstract
Young drivers (16- 24) were not only more likely to engage in risky driving and have higher accident and violation rates (corrected for distance traveled) but they were also more likely to report engaging in other risky behaviors. The 20- 24 age group was generally more likely than the 16- 19 age group to report risky behavior, whether driving related or not, while the 16- 19 age group tended to have higher accident and violation rates. Similar age differences were observed for both males and females, although the age effect was more pronounced for males.
