Young driver research program : qualitative dimensions of young driver driving exposure as a function of time of day : Federal Government's Road Safety Initiative.

This report involves the exploration of the qualitative dimensions of young driver driving exposure, and how these differ the day compared to night-time. Data was collected using two methods: a nationwide door-to-door survey of 3008 drivers, and direct sampling of almost 600 `active' drivers undertaking a trip. Descriptive results are presented for the driving attitudes and behaviours, type of car driven, and personality characteristics of young drivers and a comparison sample of young drivers. (A)
