N2  - We examine driver characteristics of injured child and teenage motor vehicle crash victims, in particular, factors that determine whether or not the victim was restrained. Non-restraint obviously increases injury risk. The presence of a second adult in a vehicle increases the likelihood that child passengers will be unrestrained if they are injured, especially for drivers over age 19. Other findings are more predictable: victim restraint use generally mirrors driver restraint use; a male driver, a young driver, a drinking driver, a speeding or reckless driver, an unlicensed or suspended driver, and a nighttime trip each independently raises the odds of injured children being unrestrained.<p />
