Gender differences and areas of common concern in the driving behaviors and attitudes of adolescents

Article Abstract:

A comparative study of New Zealand adolescent males and females reveals males to be more interested in driving than females. Findings show that males break the night curfew and engage in unsafe driving behaviors, such as drinking while driving and speeding on open roads. In cases of late night driving, females were more often the passengers of drunken drivers. Both groups show evidences of unlicensed driving, breaking traffic rules, and failing to wear seat belts. Educational programs and media campaigns need to target both groups in areas of common concern.
