Abstract
Driver error is the most often contributing factor in all crashes, so it stands to reason that strategies to address this element of the causation chain, will realize significant reductions in fatalities. In this paper, driver behavior experts from Westat Inc - Dr. Neil Lerner, Jeremiah Singer, and Dr. James Jenness - address four major issues to resolve in order to realize ‘safer drivers’: increased restraint use, reduced speeding, driver distraction, and younger drivers.
