Abstract

Driver history data, in combination with previous 10th-grade questionnaire data, for 4,403 subjects were analyzed by Poisson regression models to identify the significant substance use and parental characteristics predicting subsequent high-risk driving of new drivers through age 23-24 years. Substance use (cigarettes, marijuana, and alcohol) reported at age 15 was shown to be an important predictor of subsequent excess risk of serious offenses and serious crashes for both men and women. In addition, negative parental influences (permissive attitudes toward young people's drinking; low monitoring nurturance, family connectedness), were also demonstrated to increase the risk of serious offenses and serious crashes for both men and women.
