First-time DWI offenders are at risk of recidivating regardless of sanctions imposed
Risk of Alcohol-Impaired Driving Recidivism Among First Offenders and Multiple Offenders
Objectives. We sought to determine the statewide impact of having prior alcohol-impaired driving violations of any type on the rate of first occurrence or recidivism among drivers with 0, 1, 2, or 3 or more prior violations in Maryland. Methods. We analyzed more than 100 million driver records from 1973 to 2004 and classified all Maryland drivers into 4 groups: those with 0, 1, 2, or 3 or more prior violations. The violation rates for approximate…
Daylight saving time and motor vehicle crashes: The reduction in pedestrian and vehicle occupant fatalities
Fatal crashes were tabulated for 6-hour periods around sunrise and sunset, from 13 weeks before the fall change to standard time until 9 weeks after the spring change to daylight saving time. Fatal-crash occurrence was related to changes in daylight, whether these changes occurred abruptly with the fall and spring time changes or gradually with the changing seasons of the year. During daylight saving time, which shifts an hour of daylight to the …
Automobile driver fatalities in frontal impacts: Air bags compared with manual belts
OBJECTIVES. The effectiveness of air bags was estimated in this study by comparing driver fatalities in frontal crashes with driver fatalities in nonfrontal crashes, for cars with air bags and manual belts and cars with manual belts only. METHODS. Fatal Accident Reporting System data for drivers fatally injured during 1985 to 1991 in 1985 to 1991 model year cars that were equipped with air bags in or before model year 1991 were analyzed. RESULTS.…
Motorcycle licensure, ownership, and injury crash involvement
The interrelationships among motorcycle licensure, ownership, and injury crash involvement were investigated in a sample of 2,723 motorcycle drivers severely or fatally injured in California in 1985-86. Owners of motorcycles in such crashes ("driver-owners") were less likely to have valid licenses than a random sample of motorcycle owners who had not been in crashes (42 vs. 57 percent). Thirty-three percent of the crash-involved drivers had valid…
Discontinuity in a Life Cycle: The Death of Trinidad Bhojpuri
Do languages die gradually or abruptly? Spontaneous speech samples were elicited from 40 speakers of Trinidad Bhojpuri in rural Caroni, Trinidad, ranging in age from 95 to 26. The oldest 28 subjects were representative of their age group; the youngest 10 were distinctly unrepresentative. Data corpora were pro-rated to equal length, and the errors and test features in each corpus were counted to distinguish statistically between native and non-nat…
Motorcycle headlight-use laws and fatal motorcycle crashes in the US, 1975-83
Fatal motorcycle crashes in the United States from 1975 to 1983 were analyzed. In the 14 states that had motorcycle headlight-use laws during the study period, about 600 daytime crashes of the type included in the study were prevented by these laws. This reduction corresponds to a 13 per cent reduction in fatal daytime crashes and to an average reduction of about five fatal crashes per year for each of the 14 states. About 30 states did not have …
The Effect of Curfew Laws on Motor Vehicle Crashes
Twelve states in the U.S. have curfew laws, which prohibit young drivers from operating motor vehicles during late evening or early morning hours. The effect of such laws on motor vehicle crashes was studied in four of these states. In each state the laws were found substantially to reduce the crashes of sixteen year olds. Sixteen year old driver crash involvements during curfew hours were reduced by an estimated 69 percent in Pennsylvania, 62 pe…
Variations in minimum licensing age and fatal motor vehicle crashes
The effect of differences in the legal minimum licensing age on fatal motor vehicle crashes was studied in New Jersey (age 17), Massachusetts (age 16 1/2), and Connecticut (age 16). New Jersey's 17-year-old licensing law was associated with greatly reduced fatal crash involvement. It is estimated that 65 to 85 per cent reductions in 16 year-old-driver fatal crash involvement can be expected if the licensing age is increased from 16 to 17 without …

The repeal of helmet use laws and increased motorcyclist mortality in the United States, 1975-1978
Monthly mortality figures for motorcyclists for each state in the United States were obtained for the period January 1975 through December 1978. Twenty-four states revealed or weakened their helmet use laws at various dates within this period. Two of these states subsequently reintroduced a strengthened law. This paper measures the effects of these law changes on motorcyclist mortality. The states that repealed or weakened their helmet laws were …
Driver education and fatal crash involvement of teenaged drivers
Fatal crash involvement of teenagers per licensed driver and per population in 27 states was related to the proportions of teenagers who received high school driver education. Among 16--17 year olds, driver education was associated with a great increase in the number of licensed drivers, without a decrease in the fatal crash involvement per 10,000 licensed drivers- About 80 per cent of the 16--17 year olds who took high school driver education ob…
