“…Furthermore, if this trend continues, they would definitely also have long-term consequences for victims. These results are consistent with the findings of Ivers, Senserrick, Boufous and Stevenson (2009). Their results showed that younger drivers are associated with risky driving, high-levels of speed and have increased risks of crashing.…”

Orientation: Research into the long-term effects of motor accidents on the work performance and careers of victims in South Africa is limited. Results of this research are important for employers who must assist the employees after they return to work.Research purpose: The purpose of this study was to contribute to research on the effects of the injuries by investigating the relationship between the severity of the injuries and the careers and growth potential of victims.Motivation for the study: Employers could use the information on the effects of the injuries on the careers of victims to plan interventions and job accommodations to retain employees and to manage their well-being and performance.Research design, approach and method: The author conducted a quantitative survey on a purposive sample (N = 199) of adult victims of motor vehicle accidents in 2010 in South Africa. She used descriptive and inferential statistics to analyse the data.Main findings: The author observed a number of significant relationships between the effects of the different injuries on the careers and growth potential of victims.Practical/managerial implications: Organisations and managers need to recognise the physical and psychological effects of injuries victims sustain in motor accidents and the associated responsibility of organisations to accommodate these employees.Contribution/value-add: The findings of the study can add to the literature and provide insights into the consequences of the injuries. They also provide information that can assist organisations to create an awareness of job accommodation and employee wellness of accident victims.

“…29 Another study from Australia revealed that poorer perception of safety was associated with an increased crash risk. 17 According to the available literature, effective interventions to reduce risky driving behaviours among teenagers and young people include the implementation of educational programmes to effectively change behaviours and help risky drivers to temper positive emotions related to driving and more fully understand the associated risks. 10,15 These interventions are in addition to more general measures targeting drivers, altering vehicle design and making the environment safer for road users.…”

“…Questions were developed by reviewing the relevant literature. 10,[17][18][19] A total of 21 items covering different risk-taking behaviours formed the main questionnaire. For each item, participants indicated on a 5-point scale how frequently they usually engaged in the behaviour when driving (1 = never, 2 = rarely, 3 = sometimes, 4 = frequently and 5 = always), their perception of the risk associated with the behaviour (1 = not risky at all, 2 = slightly risky, 3 = fairly risky, 4 = very risky and 5 = extremely risky) and their enjoyment of the behaviour (1 = strongly dislike, 2 = dislike slightly, 3 = neutral, 4 = like slightly and 5 = strongly like).…”

abstract:Objectives: This study aimed to assess risky driving behaviours among medical students in Erbil, Iraq, and to explore the relationship between risky driving behaviours and perceptions of risky driving. Methods: This self-administered questionnaire-based survey was conducted from January to May 2014 among a random sample of 400 medical students at Hawler Medical University in Erbil. The questionnaire was designed to assess the frequency of engagement in 21 risky driving behaviours, the perceived risk of each behaviour and the preference for each behaviour as ranked on a 5-point scale. Results: A total of 386 students responded to the survey (response rate: 96.5%). Of these, 211 reported that they currently drove a vehicle (54.7%). Drivers most frequently engaged in the following behaviours: playing loud music (35.9%), speeding (30.4%), allowing front seat passengers to not wear seat belts (27.9%) and using mobile phones (27.7%). Least frequent driving behaviours included not stopping at a red light (3.9%), driving while sleepy (4.4%), driving after a mild to moderate intake of alcohol (4.5%) and drunk driving (6.4%). Mean risky driving behaviour scores were significantly higher among males (P <0.001) and those who owned a car (P = 0.002). The mean risk perception score was higher among >20-year-olds (P = 0.028). There was a significant positive relationship between the preference for risky behaviours and risky driving behaviours (beta = 0.44; P <0.001). Conclusion: Medical students in Erbil reported high frequencies of several serious risky driving behaviours. The preference for risky behaviours was found to be an important predictor of risky driving behaviours among medical students in Erbil.

“…Usar el móvil mientras se conduce, conducir con sueño o cansancio, conducir por encima de la velocidad autorizada y distraerse al volante fueron las circunstancias con mayores frecuencias de implicación entre nuestros conductores. Este hecho ya ha sido documentado por la literatura en conductores jóvenes de otros países 3,32,33 . Así, un reciente estudio realizado en jóvenes conductores australianos detectó que, entre los principales comportamientos de riesgo al volante se encontraban: el exceso de velocidad, el uso del móvil, conducir cansado, llevar pasajeros sin cinturón, conducir solo, conducir de noche, bajo meteorología adversa y conducir bajo los efectos del alcohol u otras drogas 16 .…”

“…No en vano, representan la primera causa de mortalidad en todo el mundo entre los 15 a los 29 años, en especial entre los varones 1 . A ello han contribuido, entre otros factores, el exceso de velocidad, la conducción bajo los efectos del alcohol, la bús-queda de nuevas sensaciones o la escasa percepción de riesgo, tradicionalmente atribuidos a los jóvenes conductores 2,3,4 .…”

El objetivo fue identificar y cuantificar la asociación entre la intensidad de exposición (km/año recorridos), la accidentalidad y sus factores asociados en universitarios de Guatemala. Se realizó un estudio trasversal durante el curso 2010-2011, sobre una muestra de 1.016 conductores, quienes cumplimentaron un cuestionario autoadministrado que valoraba: patrones de movilidad, uso de dispositivos de seguridad, estilos de conducción y accidentalidad. Se obtuvieron asociaciones positivas entre la intensidad de exposición y la mayor implicación en circunstancias de riesgo al volante (coeficiente de regresión ajustado de 3,25, IC95%: 2,23-4,27, para las mayores exposiciones). Tanto una mayor implicación en tales circunstancias, como una mayor edad, fueron las variables más fuertemente asociadas con la mayor accidentalidad. Pese a que la intensidad de exposición se asocia positivamente con una mayor accidentalidad, se constató que la mayor parte de dicha asociación está mediada por una mayor implicación en circunstancias de riesgo al volante.
