abstract="A set of items concerning road safety and driving behaviour was included in the most recent, thirteenth survey wave of the Australian Temperament Project, a large, longitudinal community study of children's development and wellbeing from infancy to adulthood. Responses obtained during the most recent survey included self and parent reports of young people's experiences as a learner driver, driving exposure, crash and offence experiences, and the frequency of some risky driving behaviours. A series of analyses indicated that it was possible to identify young drivers likely to engage in risky driving from data collected in mid-childhood (using teacher reports) and early adolescence (using parent and self reports). Young drivers with a tendency towards risky driving behaviours differed from others in measures of temperament (especially persistence), behaviour problems (especially aggression and hyperactivity), social competence, school adjustment, and the quality of relationships.<p />",
