Abstract

Driving among children and adolescents below the legal driving age in Texas was examined. There were 4170 accidents between 1995 and 2000 (66.5% involved injury/fatality). Drivers were more often male, and underage driving was greatest during the late afternoon/early evening. Risk of severe injury or death was inversely related to speed and nighttime driving, and was greater in rural areas, in accidents involving passengers and among black children and youth compared with white.

摘要

对德克萨斯州法定驾驶年龄以下的儿童和青少年驾车情况进行了调查。1995年至2000年期间发生了4170起事故（66.5%涉及人员受伤/死亡）。驾车者多为男性，下午晚些时候/傍晚时分未成年人驾车情况最为严重。严重受伤或死亡风险与车速和夜间驾车呈负相关，在农村地区、涉及乘客的事故中以及黑人儿童和青少年中，与白人相比风险更大。
