abstract="In this population-based study with individual records, the crash rates for the first 3 years of 111,500 new licensees are investigated using the explanatory variables: gender, performance at the written and road tests, age at licensing, and length of the study period. Men have almost twice the crash rate of women. The older new licensees (20 years+) with a longer learning period (more than 180 days) who passed both tests at the first attempt have the lowest crash rates. Licensees who failed the written portion of the test have consistently higher crash rates in each of the 3 studied years. The results could be useful for new rules on access to a first licence.  <p>[Novice drivers]</p>  <p>Language: en</p>",
