Abstract

Young drivers are over-represented in casualty crashes, particularly in developed countries, despite road safety improvements over the last few decades. In Australia, novice drivers aged 17-25 accounted for about 15 per cent of total licensed drivers but represented over one-quarter of the total road casualties. The primary objective of this study was to examine the trend of crash rate by driver injury severity for drivers aged 17-25 living in New South Wales (NSW), Australia between 1997 and 2007. A secondary objective was to explore gender and age disparities in crash rates over the study period, irrespective of driver injury.
