目的：本研究的目的是确定与预驾照驾驶相关的人口和行为因素。方法：由来自新西兰各地的 3526 名年龄在 15-24 岁的新驾照驾驶员组成的队列完成了一份调查问卷，旨在寻找有关预驾照驾驶行为和被认为与此相关的因素的信息。结果：几乎一半的参与者在通过学习驾照理论测试之前曾上路行驶； 14% 开车超过 20 次； 7.5%的人驾驶里程超过200公里。多元逻辑回归显示结果因检查结果的不同而有所不同。总体而言，男性、毛利人、居住在农村地区以及居住在高度贫困地区的人中，预先取得驾驶执照的驾驶率明显较高。此外，那些持有预驾照的人更有可能从事其他危险行为，例如危险饮酒和吸食大麻，并且在感觉寻求和攻击性/敌意方面得分为中等到高。结论：获得预驾照的年轻人表现出一系列人口和行为特征，表明他们可能比未获得驾照的同龄人面临更高的碰撞风险。识别那些在获得许可之前就开车的人，并针对这一群体进行道路安全干预，可能有助于降低新手司机的高碰撞风险。 (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
Aim: The aim of this study was to identify demographic and behavioural factors associated with pre-licensed driving.Method: A cohort comprising 3526 newly licensed drivers aged 15-24 years old from throughout New Zealand completed a questionnaire which sought information on pre-licensed driving behaviour and factors thought to be related to this.Results: Almost half of the participants had driven on-road prior to passing their learner license theory test; 14% had driven more than 20 times; and 7.5% had driven more than 200 km. Multivariate logistic regression showed the results differed depending on the outcome examined. In general pre-licensed driving was significantly higher among males, among Maori, those living in a rural area, and those living in an area of high deprivation. Furthermore, those who drove pre-licensed were more likely to engage in other risky behaviours such as hazardous drinking and cannabis use, and have medium to high scores for sensation seeking and aggression/hostility.Conclusion: The young people who were pre-licensed drivers displayed a range of demographic and behavioural characteristics that indicate they may be at higher crash risk than their peers who did not drive before licensing. Identifying those who drive before licensing and targeting road safety interventions towards this group may help reduce the high crash risk among novice drivers. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
