作为一个群体，年轻司机的撞车率远远超过年长、有经验的司机。但即使在青少年中，也存在与年龄相关的差异;随着年龄的逐年增长，撞车率持续大幅下降。更精确地了解青少年群体中的撞车率如何下降，可能会让我们深入了解什么时候经验最具影响力。为了解决这个问题，这项研究探讨了每月的变化，碰撞之间的新司机。结果发现，在驾驶的前6个月，撞车率下降得最快。参与某些类型的碰撞，如失控的道路，单一的车辆，夜间，周末下降得更快。研究结果表明，新手在相对较短的时间内提高了他们的驾驶能力。分级驾驶执照制度被认为是确保这种发展在一个更宽容的环境中进行的有效方法。(C)2002爱思唯尔科技有限公司版权所有。
As a group, young drivers have crash rates that far exceed those of older, experienced drivers. But even among teenagers there are age-related differences; crash rates decline consistently and dramatically with each yearly increase in age. A more precise understanding of how crash rates decline within the teenage group might provide insights into when experience is most influential. To address this issue, this study examines month-to-month changes in collisions among new drivers. It was found that crash rates drop most dramatically during the first 6 months of driving. Involvement in certain types of crashes-e.g. run-off-the-road, single-vehicle, night, weekend-declines more rapidly. The findings suggest that novices improve their driving in a relatively short period of time. A graduated driver licensing system is identified as an effective method for ensuring that this development takes place in a more forgiving environment. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.
