Abstract

The mileage-adjusted rate of (itSpeed, Equipment), and (itMajor) violations decreases with increasing age. (itSign, Turning, Passing), and (itRight-of-way) violations have a U-shaped relationship with age. Males have a higher rate than females for (itSpeed, Equipment, Passing), and (itMajor) violations, and a lower rate for (itSign) and (itRight-of-way) violations, with little difference for (itTurning) violations. Single persons average (not adjusted for mileage) a greater number of each type of violation than married persons. Similar age and sex differences were found for violations associated with fatal and injury accidents.
