Chicago (ap)-strong driver's license law in 16 years old, but between with a worrisome side effects less deadly collapse-18 more deadly accident between, a national study found.
Many states require young riders get rich experience, including driving and adults to be formally licence, before. But in most state law only applies to those over age 18. New research shows that some children just getting the license, until they at least 18 years old-it means a deadly collapse, they are a little experience and higher odds.
"There is a kind of incentive, now skipped, just waiting for, until you 18," said Scott, who javier is the lead author of the study, a researcher at the department of California car. , "he said, in most countries, you don't even need the driver's education or driver training", if you get a license in the 18.
"In fact, I was bummed my own survey found, we are-offset the benefits of so many young driver," he said. "It was quite an accident."
The study from 1986 to 2007, involved a deadly collapse-16 19 years old. The results appear in Wednesday's journal of the American medical association ".
Unlike most research also and graduated from licensing plan, in teenagers teenagers fatal traffic accidents rate of decline, but for the influence of the older youth are mixed evidence.
An editorial department and road safety insurance institute researchers said the potential effects of the older youth, "is a serious problem, and researchers and policymakers attention." Editorials graduated driver's license, New Jersey, restrictions, apply to all over 21 applies for the first time one of the few countries. This led to a crash rate between low of 17-18 years old.
Editorial says, whether these scheme should be expanded to include older youth is further research,.
Every country has some type of graduation driver licensing program. This usually allow full, not restricted licence, just a few months of study, and an adult, like driving at night and the number of passengers from supervision restrictions, driving driving children younger than 18.
The authors of this study analyzed the fatal traffic accidents, the data from the national highway traffic safety administration and the license plan of each country information.
Compared with the most weak laws to limit or no limit to the country, with 26% less deadly car accident, involving 16 driver, but the driver of 18 years old, 12%, more deadly collapse. The difference, estimates that consideration of factors may affect fatal traffic accident rate, including a seat belt law, the minimum speed limit changes, and in fact, 18 years old driver over the age of 16 driver...
The emergence of the scheme, 17 and 19 of the driver's fatal traffic accident rate have no effect.
The researchers estimate, the first graduated licensing procedures, since 1996, with 1348 plan has less deadly accident involving 16 driver, but with 1086 more deadly collapse, involving the driver associated 18 years old.
In the 1986 2007 study, there are nearly 132000 people aged 16 to 19, the driver and death accident. Nearly 20%, involving 16 years of driver, and nearly 30% of 18 years old.
Massey, who says there is evidence that many teenagers are waiting, until they get their licence; old In California, for example, only 13% of the 16 years of age, and have a driver's license.
In the magazine published last month in traffic injury prevention nearly 1400 teenagers, 1 four people were 18 and without a license to cause the brand of the provisions for reason the national survey of trouble.
Massey, who said more research is needed to determine why fatal traffic accident rate of between 18 and whether to add up, also happens in the fatal crash.
Dr. Flaura said: "Winston, a pediatrician and children traffic trauma experts research proves, graduated from" brand is do what purpose does it do-to prevent high risk in the conditions, the novice drivers before they are ready, hospital of Philadelphia. She said, but also show as a result, there is a at any age of novice drivers the strategic needs of independent.
