The objective of this study was to determine the annual incidence of fatal motor vehicle crashes involving street racing and to describe the characteristics of these crashes compared to other fatal crashes in the United States. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Fatality Analysis Reporting System data for 1998-2001 were used for the analyses. There were 149 568 fatal crashes and 315 (0.21%) involved street racing and 399 fatalities occurred in these crashes. In contrast to other fatal crashes, street racing fatal crashes were more likely to occur on urban roadways and were nearly six times more likely to occur at travel speeds> or = 65 mph. Compared with other drivers involved in fatal crashes, street racers were more likely to be teenagers, male, and have previous crashes and driving violations. Street racing involves risky driving behaviors and warrants further attention.
本研究的目的是确定涉及街头赛车的致命机动车撞车事故的年发生率，并描述这些撞车事故与美国其他致命撞车事故相比的特征。分析使用了国家公路交通安全管理局1998 - 2001年的死亡分析报告系统数据。共有149568起致命撞车事故，其中315起（0.21%）涉及街头赛车，这些事故中有399人死亡。与其他致命撞车事故相比，街头赛车致命撞车事故更有可能发生在城市道路上，并且在行驶速度≥65英里/小时时发生的可能性几乎是其他事故的六倍。与涉及致命撞车事故的其他司机相比，街头赛车手更有可能是青少年、男性，并且有过撞车事故和驾驶违规记录。街头赛车涉及危险驾驶行为，值得进一步关注。
