TY - JOUR PY - 2000// TI - The development of risky driving in adolescence JO - Journal of safety research A1 - Harré, N. A1 - Brandt, Theo A1 - Dawe, M. SP - 185 EP - 194 VL - 31 IS - 4 N2 - The driving attitudes and self-reported behaviors of New Zealand adolescents in Year 10 of school (n = 168, mean age = 14.2 years) were compared with students in Year 12 (n = 109, mean age = 16.4 years). School year group differences were found for three out of the eight measures of risky attitudes and behaviors, with the older students having riskier responses in each case. Gender differences were found for four of these measures, with males consistently demonstrating riskier attitudes. Suggestions are made about appropriate interventions and the timing of these.
