Abstract

The purpose of the present study was to validate the claims made by previous police and government reports to increase the knowledge base of hooning and to contribute to future road-safety legislation and strategies. The aims were: 1. To estimate the frequency with which males aged 16 to 24 years report past hooning, individual hooning behaviours and future hooning compared to other groups; 2. To examine whether personal characteristics of license type, education level and driver experience are predictive of hooning behaviour; 3. To examine the self-reported frequency with which hooning is associated with traffic accidents. (a) For the covering entry of this conference, please see ITRD abstract no. E216178.
