研究表明，青少年司机撞车的风险更高。参与技术和非技术性娱乐活动的机会似乎是这个年龄组特别关注的问题。使用国家碰撞数据库（2003年，美国DOT通用估计系统[GES]），开发了一个有序logit模型来预测这些驾驶员及其乘客严重受伤的可能性。正如人们所预料的那样，超速行驶大大增加了青少年司机和乘客严重受伤的可能性。分析结果还显示，如果被手机或乘客分心，青少年司机受到更严重伤害的可能性会增加，而不是分心的来源与车载设备有关或司机疏忽。此外，当驾驶员被设备或乘客分心时，青少年驾驶员的乘客更有可能遭受严重伤害，而不是没有分心或注意力不集中的驾驶员。这支持了以前关于青少年驾驶员的文献，并扩展了我们对这个年龄组与分心相关的撞车事故有关的伤害的理解。(C)2007爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
Studies show that teenage drivers are at a higher risk for crashes. Opportunities to engage in technology and non-technology based distractions appear to be a particular concern among this age group. An ordered logit model was developed to predict the likelihood of a severe injury for these drivers and their passenger using a national crash database (the 2003, U.S. DOT-General Estimate System [GES]). As one would expect, speeding substantially increases the likelihood of severe injuries for teenage drivers and their passengers. The results of the analysis also reveal that teenage drivers have an increased likelihood of more severe injuries if distracted by a cell phone or by passengers than if the source of distraction was related to in-vehicle devices or if the driver was inattentive. Additionally, passengers of teenage drivers are more likely to sustain severe injuries when their driver is distracted by devices or passengers than with a non-distracted or inattentive driver. This supports the previous literature on teenage drivers and extends our understanding of injuries for this age group related to distraction-related crashes. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd.
