abstract="This study examined single- and two-vehicle police-reported crashes in Vermont, United States, between 2003 and 2008. It evaluated the likelihood of being at-fault for Vermont drivers versus out-of-state drivers older than age 25 years. Analysis using logistic regression estimated that out-of-state drivers are twice as likely to be at-fault for a single-vehicle crash and 7% more likely to be at-fault for a two-vehicle crash. Season of year and road type (paved vs. unpaved) were statistically significant interactions for Vermont and out-of-state drivers for single-vehicle crashes. Driving during the winter months had more pronounced effects of increasing single-vehicle crash fault for out-of-state drivers than for Vermont drivers. No statistically significant differences were found in the factors that affect crash fault between Vermont and out-of-state drivers for two-vehicle crashes. The relative evaluation of crash fault for nonlocal drivers has been understudied in the United States. Previous research, conducted mostly in other countries, has been limited but has shown that foreign drivers are more likely to be involved in a crash. This study suggests the need for further study of drivers away from home within their own country as well as identification of associated interventions.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
