Traditional methods for determining crash responsibility - most commonly moving violation citations - may not accurately characterize at-fault status among crash-involved drivers given that: (1) issuance may vary by factors that are independent of fault (e.g., driver age, gender), and (2) these methods do not capture driver behaviors that are not illegal but still indicative of fault. We examined the statistical implications of using moving violations to determine crash responsibility in young driver crashes by comparing it with a method based on crash-contributing driver actions. We selected all drivers in police-reported passenger-vehicle crashes (2010-2011) that involved a New Jersey driver <21 years old (79,485 drivers

Article Synopsis
- As life expectancies rise, older drivers have higher accident rates compared to younger drivers, prompting a study on the influence of gender on risk-taking behavior among those over 65.
- The study involved 200 participants over 65, examining their driving and pedestrian behaviors using specific questionnaires and focusing on risk perception and past traffic incidents.
- Results showed older males are more prone to risky driving, indicating the need for tailored safety campaigns addressing men, who often underestimate the importance of responsible driving practices.
