“…When parents imposed stricter rules regarding teen passengers and nighttime driving, teens reported safer driving behaviors 18 and fewer crashes. 65 Various parent-teen agreements have been used to codify restrictions, 22,66,67 to offer an understanding of both teen and parent responsibilities and expectations, and to create a framework whereby restrictions are reduced with increased experience. [21][22][23]68 Perhaps because of the clarity and structure they provide, parent-teen agreements have both short-term and sustained benefits.…”

“…Several studies have found that parental monitoring, with appropriate restrictions, influences driving safety. [17][18][19][20] In particular, a formal, written, driving-related, parent-teen agreement with clear parental expectations reduces risky driving among teens, 21,22 likely by reducing discordance between parent and teen interpretations of expectations and limits. 23 Monitoring is only one aspect of the protective influence of parental involvement.…”

WHAT'S KNOWN ON THIS SUBJECT:Authoritative parenting style is known to influence adolescent behaviors and attitudes positively. However, little is known about the interplay between parental warmth, support, and control in relation to teen driving safety. WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS:Parents matter. This study confirms that safe driving belongs on the list of adolescent behaviors known to be influenced positively by authoritative parenting. abstract + OBJECTIVE:The goal was to explore the association between parenting style and driving behaviors. METHODS:The 2006 National Young Driver Survey gathered data on driving safety behaviors from a nationally representative sample of 5665 ninth-, 10th-, and 11th-graders. A parenting style variable was based on adolescent reports and separated parents into 4 groups, (1) authoritative (high support and high rules/monitoring), (2) authoritarian (low support and high rules/monitoring), (3) permissive (high support and low rules/monitoring), and (4) uninvolved (low support and low rules/monitoring). Associations between parenting style and driving behaviors and attitudes were assessed. RESULTS:One half of parents were described as authoritative, 23% as permissive, 8% as authoritarian, and 19% as uninvolved. Compared with teens with uninvolved parents, those with authoritative parents reported one half the crash risk in the past year (odds ratio [OR] CONCLUSIONS:Clinicians should encourage parents to set rules and to monitor teens' driving behaviors, in a supportive context.

“…For example, Wagenaar and Toomey (2002) found that increasing the minimum legal drinking age to 21 reduced traffic crashes, alcohol use, and injury among 18-to 21-year-olds. Universal prevention programs using sobriety checkpoints (Shults et al, 2001) and universal and selective parent education and involvement strategies (Haggerty et al, 2006;Simons-Morton et al, 2006) have also been effective in reducing drunk driving and auto accidents involving adolescents. In addition to preventing substance use, the school-based LST program has been shown to reduce risky driving (Griffin et al, 2004).…”

“…Accumulating evidence suggests programs to assist parents in setting and monitoring "house driving rules" for their newly licensed teenagers can reduce risky MV behaviors and crashes. [41][42][43] Last, pediatricians have an important role in improving teenage driver safety. 44 The American Academy of Pediatrics encourages pediatricians to promote teenage driver safety by providing anticipatory guidance to patients and their parents and advocating for teenage driver safety in their community and with their legislative bodies.…”

Texting While Driving and Other Risky Motor Vehicle Behaviors Among US High School Students

2013

WHAT'S KNOWN ON THIS SUBJECT: Distracted driving due to texting while driving (TWD) has emerged as an important teenage safety issue. Previous studies have shown that the self-reported prevalence of TWD among teenagers varies widely. WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS:In 2011, 45% of US high school students aged $16 years reported TWD during the past 30 days. TWD was positively associated with other risky motor vehicle behaviors; this association strengthened as frequency of TWD increased. abstract OBJECTIVE: To assess the prevalence of texting/e-mailing while driving (TWD) and association of TWD with other risky motor vehicle (MV) behaviors among US high school students.METHODS: Data were used from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention' s 2011 national Youth Risk Behavior Survey, which assessed TWD during the 30 days before the survey among 8505 students aged $16 years from a nationally representative sample of US high school students. TWD frequency was coded into dichotomous and polychotomous variables. Logistic regression assessed the relationship between TWD and other risky driving behaviors, controlling for age, race/ethnicity, and sex. RESULTS:The prevalence of TWD on $1 days during the 30 days before the survey was 44.5% (95% confidence interval: 40.8%-48.2%). Students who engaged in TWD were more likely than their non-TWD counterparts to not always wear their seatbelt (prevalence ratio; 95% confidence interval: 1.16; 1.07-1.26), ride with a driver who had been drinking alcohol (1.74; 1.57-1.93), and drink alcohol and drive (5.33; 4.32-6.59). These other risky MV behaviors were most likely to occur among students who frequently engaged in TWD.CONCLUSIONS: Nearly half of US high school students aged $16 years report TWD during the past 30 days; these students are more likely to engage in additional risky MV behaviors. This suggests there is a subgroup of students who may place themselves, their passengers, and others on the road at elevated risk for a crash-related injury or fatality by engaging in multiple risky MV behaviors.
