1.Introduction

Roadtrafficcrashesareoneofthetoptencausesofmortality, resultinginalmost3400deathsperdayworldwide(Pedenetal.,

2004; World Health Organization, 2013). A range of evidence

indicatesthatyounger/novicedriversareatgreaterriskofcrash than older/experienced drivers (Evans, 2004). Age and driving experienceareconfoundedriskfactorsasthemajorityofdrivers begin driving at the same age and gain experience across development. However, a body of research on crash risk for novicedriverswhobegindrivingatdifferentagesindicatesthat ageandexperiencehaveindependenteffects,withsomeevidence thattheeffectofexperienceisgreaterthantheeffectofage(e.g.,

McCarttetal.,2009).Experienceisparticularlyimportantinthe

firstfewmonthsofindependentdriving,withcrashriskdeclining steeplyoverthisperiodfordriverswhoacquirealicenseatanyage. Identifyingthechangesindrivingbehaviorthatunderliethe decreaseincrashriskoverthefirstfewmonthsofdrivingiskeyto efforts to reduce young driver injury and fatality risk. This information couldbe usedasa focus for pre-drivingeducation programs.Theseprogramsmightthen beabletoequip novices withtheappropriatedrivingbehaviorsthatwouldbelearntduring thefirstfewmonthsofmotoringwithoutexposingthemtothe periodofhighriskindependentdrivingthatcurrentlyisrequired.

These efforts may be usefully informed by classification schemesofdrivingbehaviorsthatincreasecrashrisk.Manysuch schemes highlight a distinction betweendrivingskill and style (e.g., Elander et al.,1993).

skillssuch ashazard perception. Driving style reflectsthe way driverschoosetodrive,suchasspeedchoice,followingdistance andgapacceptance.Ithasbeenarguedthatbothdrivingerrorsand drivingstylearecorrelatesofcrashinvolvement(deWinterand

Dodou,2010).Therefore,improvementsinthesafetyofeitheror

bothofthesefactorsacrossthefirstfewmonthsofdrivingcould underliethedecreaseincrashriskobservedduringthisperiod.

While thereisevidencethatviolationsbecomelesscommon with maturation from adolescence to adulthood (Jessor et al.,

1997), few studies have focused specifically on the effects of

drivingexperienceonbehaviorduringtheearlystagesofdriving. IntheUnitedKingdomDepartmentforTransportCohortIIstudy, fromwhich the data used in the present analyses are drawn, violationfrequencyincreasedoverthefirstthreeyearsofdriving, although no formal statistical analyses were conducted (Wells

et al., 2008). A pattern of increase was observed for ordinary

violations,suchasspeedingand closefollowing, andaggressive violations,suchasusingthehornandgivingchasetootherdrivers, withasimilardirectionofeffectforbothmalesandfemales,and youngerandoldernovicedrivers.Similarly,anincreaseintraffic offenceswasobservedoverthefirst3yearsofdrivinginastudyof morethan 13,000 newdriversin Michigan, USA(Walleret al.,

2001).Cross-sectionalstudiesprovidecorroboratingevidencethat

stylebecomesriskierovertheearlystageofdrivingcareers. Cross-sectional analyses of the G1219 study that includes almost 1000 young drivers provides corroborating evidence; driving experience (from 0 to 3 years after licensure) was positively correlated to risky attitudes towards driving violations, largely focusingonspeed(zero-ordercorrelationr=.13,Roweetal.,2013).

Wellsetal.(2008)alsoassessedself-reporterrorswhiledriving,

suchasmissinggive-waysigns,andslips,whichincludegetting intothewronglaneatajunction.Errorratesappearedtobevery similaracrossdifferentstagesofexperienceandanychangethat waspresentwasinthedirectionthattheybecamemorefrequent asexperiencewasgained.

The studies discussed aboveidentifybehaviorsthat become moreriskywithdevelopment.Therefore,theyofferfewcluesto theimprovementsinroadsafetybehaviorsthatmightunderliethe reductionsincrashinvolvementobservedduringtheearlymonths ofdriving.Thisissomewhatsurprising,asthebehavioralmeasures usedarewell-documentedcorrelatesof crashinvolvement.The AttitudestoDrivingViolationsScale,usedintheG1219study,is relatedtocrashinvolvement(WestandHall,1992).CohortIIused theDriverBehaviorQuestionnaire(Reasonetal.,1990)tomeasure violationsanderrors.Arecentmeta-analysisconcludedthatthere weresimplecorrelationsbetweenself-reportedcrashinvolvement and both cognitive failures (r=.10, based on 35 studies) and violations (r=.13 based on42 studies) (de Winter and Dodou,

2010).Thismeta-analysisfoundthatviolationsweremorestrongly

correlatedwithcrashinvolvementinyoungdriversthaninother agegroups.

Therefore,itappearsthattrendsincrashinvolvementandthese behavioralcorrelatesofcrashinvolvementarediscrepantacross theearlymonthsandyearsofdriving;crashinvolvementbecomes lessfrequent atthe sametime as violations and errorsremain stableorincrease.Onepossibleexplanationforthisdiscrepancyis thatthestudiesdescribedaboveuseddevelopmentalmodelsthat averagedacrossalldrivers.Itislikelythatthereisheterogeneityin thedevelopmentalcourseofdrivingbehaviorsandthatthismay notbewellcharacterisedbyanoverallmean.Insteadtheremaybe identifiableclassesofdriverswhofollowverydifferent develop-mental trajectories. For example, the overall drop in crash involvement over the first few months of driving may be the result of a minority of drivers who have very high levels of violationsinthefirstmonthsoftheircareersbutquicklyadopt muchsaferdrivingstyles.Conversely,violationsintheremainder

of the population may become more common over time accounting for the overall rise in violation frequency across developmentwhenthesedifferentdevelopmentaltrajectoriesare averagedtogether.

Latent growth curvemodeling is a techniquethat is ideally suited toexploring theseissues;information aboutindividuals’ initiallevelsandtrajectoriesofbehaviorovertimecanbeobtained, thereforeprovidinginsightintobothintra-individualchangeand inter-individual differences in this change. This technique also permitstheexaminationofdevelopmentalheterogeneity.When usedwithinlatentclassgrowthmodels,thetechniquecanreveal identiable categories of drivers who follow very specic trajectoriesofbehavioraldevelopment.Modelsofthis sorthave beenusefullyappliedtostudydevelopmentaltrajectoriesinother domains,forexample,children’scognitive,emotionalandsocial development (e.g., Goldberg and Carlson, 2014), well-being in clinical and non-clinical samples (e.g., Hughes et al., 2013) or propensitiesforcriminalcareersinadolescentsandadults(fora review,seeEroshevaetal.,2014).Forexample,withregardstothe developmentofantisocialbehavior,anumberofstudiesprovide evidence that there are four distinct trajectory classes. A large groupofchildrenwhorarelyengageinantisocialbehaviorthrough childhood and adolescence, a smaller group whose antisocial behavioronsetsduringadolescence,and twosmallgroupswho beginantisocialbehaviorearlyindevelopment.Oneoftheseearly onsetgroupsmaintainsrelativelyhighlevelsofantisocialbehavior throughout adolescence while the other group desists from antisocialbehaviorbeforereachingpuberty(Odgersetal.,2008) Whilethismodelingapproachhasbeenhighlyinformativein otherareasofpublichealth,therehasbeenlimitedapplicationto driving behavior. Vassallo et al. (2013) used data from the Australian Temperament Project (ATP) to profile different subgroups of drivers whose risky driving behavior either increased,decreasedorremainedstableacrosstwotimepoints (19–20 years old to27–28 years old) butthe subgroups were constructedwithoutformalanalyses.Toourknowledge,onlyone studyhassofarappliedlatenttrajectorymodelingtothisfield: The Naturalistic Teenage Driving Study(Simons-Morton et al.,

2013). In this study, kinematic risky driving in instrumented

vehicles,representedbyhighgravitationalforceeventssuchas suddenacceleration andbraking,wasmeasuredfor42teenage novice drivers over the first18 months of driving. Two main classesofriskydrivingemerged,representinghigherandlower levels of risk, with risk in both groups remaining stable over development (Simons-Morton et al., 2013). This study has a numberofstrengths,includingthenaturalisticmeasurementof riskydrivingthatisindependentofanysourcesofreporterbias, butislimitedbythesmallsampleofonly42drivers.Thepresent studyaimstoextendthisknowledge byrelyingonasampleof over1000driversandbyshiftingthefocusawayfromkinematic measurestoself-reportedaberrantdriverbehavior,wheredriving skillandstylearedistinguished.

Whileusingself-reportmayhavea numberofweaknesses,a keyadvantageisthat self-reportallowsinsightintothehuman psychological processes that underlie the observed behaviors. Therefore self-report data can complement the information available from instrumented vehicles. For example, a recorded suddenaccelerationmighttakeplacebecausethedriverhasraced away from(the) lights in order tobeat anotherdriver (i.e., an aggressiveviolation),orbecausethedriverhasmisjudgedtheforce neededtoapplytotheaccelerationpedalinordertomoveaway smoothly (i.e., a slip). Understanding individual trajectories of aberrantdrivingbehaviorthroughthelensofhumanintentions andabilitiescanfurtherdevelopeducationprogramsdesignedto lead to behavior change. In this study we employed latent trajectoryanalytictechniquestoanswerthreemainquestions:

1.Whatistheaveragetrajectoryofdriverbehaviorovertime,for differentcomponentsofdriverbehavior?

2.Is ithelpfultoidentifygroupsofdrivers whofollowspecific developmentaltrajectories?

3.Whichdemographiccharacteristicsknowntobecorrelatedto crash involvement differentiate identified latent trajectory classes?

2.Method

2.1.Sample

ThepresentstudyuseddatafromtheCohortIIstudy,asix-year longitudinal study of UK novice drivers. The original sample included over 42,851 learner drivers recruited from November 2001toAugust2005.Thosewhopassedtheirdrivingtests,atotal of12,012participants,werefollowedupwithquestionnairesat6, 12,24and36monthsafterlicensure.However,becausethestudy terminatedbeforeallparticipantshadcompletedtheirfirstthree yearsofdriving,someparticipantsonlyreceivedthequestionnaire atthefirst3time-pointsandsomeonlyatthefirst2time-points. Ontheotherhand,someparticipantswereregainedatlater time-points.Thereforethesamplesizevariedacrosstime-points,with 10,064 (84% of the total number of 12,012 participants who provided data)drivers at 6 months,7450 at 12 months (62%), 4189at24months(35%)and2765at36months(23%).Itshouldbe notedthatthelowlevelsofparticipantsatthefinaltwocontactsis notonlyaresultofattrition,alsoduetothestudyfinishingbefore allparticipantscouldtocompletethelast2waves.

2.2.Measures

Informationaboutdrivingbehaviorwasself-reportedthrough theDriverBehaviorQuestionnaire(Reasonetal., 1990).Theversion used here includes 27 items (Lajunen et al., 2004) about the frequency with which a range of driving behaviors have been exhibited since the previous survey. The DBQ distinguishes betweenintentionalviolationsofacceptedsafedrivingpractice, sub-categorisedintoordinaryviolations(8items)andaggressive violations (3 items), and unintentional cognitive failures, sub-categorisedintoerrorsandlapses(both8itemseach).Responses wereona6-pointLikertscale,rangingfrom1=‘never’to6=‘nearly allthetime’.Additionalmeasuresincludedparticipant ageand gender,as well asa measure of mileage (i.e.,number of miles drivensinceprevioussurvey).

2.3.Missingdata

To capitaliseontheavailability ofdata, driverbehavior was conceptualized as factor scores saved from a longitudinal confirmatory factor analysis applied to the entire sample of 12,012participants.Regardingthisanalysis, wefoundthatdata weremissingcompletelyatrandom(MCAR)withrespecttothe fourdimensionsofaberrantdriverbehavior(aggressiveviolation, ordinaryviolations,errorsandslips)acrossthefourtime-points,as indicated bya non-significantchi-square in Little’sMCAR test:

x

2=1951.21,p=.94.Savingfactorscoresofdriverbehaviorfroman analysisreliantonthemaximumlikelihoodfunction(MLR;robust maximum likelihood) provided estimated factor scores for all participants and at all time-points. Where observed data was missing, factor scores were imputed based on the model’s prediction.Mileagewasmeasuredusingasingleindicatorateach contact. This meant that missing mileage data could not be replacedusingthemethodappliedtodrivingbehavior.Therefore, analysesthat includedmileagewereonlyavailable forthe

sub-sample of1148 driverswhoreportedtheirmileage atall time-points.

The sub-samplecomprised slightly fewer menthan the full sampleof12,012drivers(32.2%inthesub-sampleand37.2%inthe mainsample).Also,thesub-sampleincludedslightlyfewervery youngdriversthanthemainsample:under20yearolds=54.2%in the sub-sample vs 59.8% in the main sample; under 25 year olds=68.9%inthesub-samplevs76.9%inthemainsample.

Multipleimputation formileagewas considered.However,a largenumber of participantswerelost in the third and fourth wavesbydesign,asnotedabove.Inordertoavoidartefactsthat mightbecausedbyusingmultipleimputationtocorrectfordesign imposedattritionandbecauseasampleofover1000participants is sufficiently large for the proposed analyses, we decided to proceed using only the available data. Note, however, that additionalanalysisbasedonthefullsampleof12,012individuals using multiple imputation to replace all missing data yielded findingsthatdonotdiffersubstantivelyfromthosepresentedhere. Therefore,theresultsreportedherefocusspecificallyonthe sub-sampleof1148participantswhoprovidedmileagedataatallfour timepoints.

2.4.Analyticstrategy

Models were estimated using Mplus v.7.11 (Muthén and

Muthén, 2013). Analyses were conducted using the robust

maximumlikelihood estimator,whichaccountsfordata skewe-ness.Toinvestigateindividualtrajectoriesofdriverbehaviorover time,weusedlatentgrowthcurvemodels.Preliminary measure-ment invariance tests werealso conducted, toensure that the measurehasfunctionedequivalentlyateachtime-point,whichis anessentialrequirementwhenconductinganalysesreliantonthe comparison of means, such as latent trajectory modeling. Values.90onthecomparativefitindex(CFI)andtheTucker– Lewis index (TLI) and .08 on the root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) indicated adequate model fit (Hu and

Bentler,1999).Additionally,CFIandTLIvalues.95and RMSEA

values.06indicatedexcellentmodelfit(Bentler,1990). Toidentifywhetherthereweregroupsofdriverswithspecific trajectories ofaberrantdriverbehaviorandwhetherthesewere determined by gender and age, we used unconditional and conditional latent class growth analyses. The model fitindices usedtocomparemodelswithvariousnumbersofclasses(i.e., non-nested models) were: the Akaike (AIC) and Bayesian (BIC) information criteria, the Vuong–Lo–Mendell–Rubin likelihood ratio test, the Lo–Mendell–Rubin adjusted likelihood ratio test, theparametricbootstrappedlikelihoodratiotestandentropy.A modelwasfavoredoverothermodelswhentheAICandBIChad low values, the likelihood ratio tests were not significant and entropywas high. Finalmodelsarenormallyselectedbasedon information fromtindices and the interpretability of classes. Modelswithfewerclassesarefavoredovermodelswithmultiple similarclassesandmodelswherebyaclassrepresentsaverysmall proportionofthepopulation(<5%).

variancesofcorrespondingindicatorswerepermittedtocorrelate across assessments. This model fitted the data well: CFI=.94; TLI=.93; RMSEA=.01 (90% CI=.01–.01). In other words, the assumptionof scalarinvariance(i.e.,strongfactorialinvariance) held, demonstrating that the measure functioned equivalently acrossassessments.Therefore,wesavedfactorscoresforusein furtheranalyses.

3.2.Averagetrajectoriesofdriverbehaviorovertime

To investigate individualtrajectoriesof driver behavior over time, we specified linear growth curve modelsacross thefour assessment points (6 months, 12 months, 24 months and 36months), applied separatelytothefactor scoresof ordinary violations,aggressiveviolations,errorsandslips.Correlationswere permitted between the intercept and slope in all models. To accountfortheeffectofexposure,weincludedmileageasa time-varyingcovariate.

inspectionoftheplots,theaveragetrajectoriesappearedslightly curvilinear,however,quadraticmodelsshowedpoorfittothedata, especiallyasassessedbytheTLIandRMSEA,whichpenaliseoverly complexmodels.Thisindicatedthatdrivers’trajectorieswere,in fact, linearand theslight curvilinearappearance simply repre-senteddistortionsintroducedbyvariationsindrivingexposure.

Table 1 demonstrates that the average trajectories showed

significantincreasesin aberrantdriver behavior acrosstime,in relation all four dimensions: ordinary violations, aggressive violations,errors and slips.The interceptandslope of ordinary violations were positively related: r=.15, p<.01 showing that participantswithhigherinitiallevelsofordinaryviolationshad steeperincreasesinordinaryviolationsovertime.Incontrast,the intercept and slope of aggressive violations were marginally significantlynegativelyrelated:r= .08,p=.054,indicatingasmall regression tothemean effectwhereby participants withlower initial levels of aggressive violations had steeper increases in aggressive violations over time. No correlation between the intercept and slope was noted with regard to either errors: r=.07,p=.22;orslips:r= .03,p=.59.Importantly,asshownin Table1

3.3.Subgroupsofdriverbehaviortrajectories

To test whether the observed heterogeneity in individual trajectories of aberrant driver behavior hides the presence of homogeneoussubgroupsofdriversfollowingdifferenttrajectories, weusedlatentclassgrowthanalysis.Specifically,foreachofthe four components of aberrant driver behavior, we examined whetherthelineargrowthcurvemodeldescribedintheprevious sectionfittedthedatawellinmodelscomprising2,3and4classes. Here,interceptandslopevarianceswithineachgroupwerefixed tozero(i.e.,in ordertoidentifyhomogeneous classes)and the interceptandslopemeanswerefreelyestimatedineachgroup.

Toexaminewhethermenandyoungdriversweremorelikelyto belongtothegroupswithheightenedaberrantdriverbehavior,we conductedconditionallatentclassgrowthanalysesforeachofthe fourdimensions:ordinaryand aggressiveviolations, errors and slips. In a conditional latent class growth model, external correlatesareincludedas‘determinants’ofclassesandthemodels arere-estimated. Theintroduction of external correlates might changethe number of classes and the shape of the trajectory withineachclass.Here,weusedthe2and3classmodelsdescribed intheprevioussectionandregressedtheclasscomponentonto indicatorsof ageand gender.

For each ofthefouraspects ofaberrantdriver behavior,the 2classmodelsrevealedagroupofdriverswithlowinitiallevelsof aberrantbehaviorandslightlyincreasingtrajectoriesofaberrant behavior over time (except for errors, where no increase was

The group of drivers with heightenedlevelsofaberrantbehaviorwasmorelikelytocomprise youngerdrivers and menthan thelow group(except for slips, wherebothgenderswererepresentedequally).

In relation toordinaryviolations, the‘low’group was morelikelytocontainwomenthantheothertwogroups,whereas themoderateandhighgroupsweremorelikelytocontainmen thanthe‘low’group.Theeffectofagewasgraded,withyounger participantsincreasinglymorelikelytobeinthe‘moderate’and ‘high’ groups than in the ‘low’ group. The pattern washighly similarwithrespecttoaggressiveviolations,exceptthatthe‘high’ group did not contain more men than women than the ‘low’ group.

Inrelationtoerrors,the‘low’groupwasmorelikelytocontain olderdriversandwomen.The‘moderate’and‘high’groupswere more likely tocontainyoungerdrivers. In contrasttothe‘low’ group, the ‘moderate’ group included more men.

4.Discussion

Thecurrentstudysetouttodeterminetheaveragetrajectoryof aberrantdriverbehaviorsovertime,identifygroupsofdriverswho followdifferentdevelopmentaltrajectories,andexplorewhether identifiedgroupscanbedifferentiatedbydemographic character-isticsknowntobecorrelatedtocrashinvolvement.Thefirstmain study finding was that all fourdimensions of aberrant driving behaviorsignificantly increasedacrossdevelopment:aggressive violations, ordinary violations, errors and slips. This confirms resultsfromtheveryfewstudiesthathaveinvestigatedchangesin riskydrivingovertime,whichhavealsofoundnooverallchangeor aslightincreaseinaberrantdriverbehaviorovertime(Wellsetal.,

2008;Waller et al., 2001).As noted in the introduction, these

findingsareatoddswithmodelsofthedevelopmentofcrashrisk, whichdecreasesdramaticallyovertheearlydrivingperiod(e.g.,

McCarttetal.,2009),giventherepeatedreportsofarelationship

betweenaberrantdriverbehaviorandcrashinvolvement(e.g.,de

WinterandDodou,2010).Inthispaperweexploredthepossibility

thattheremightbeheterogeneityindevelopmentaltrajectories and that a latent class of drivers might be identified with a trajectory of behavioral development that matches the well-documenteddecreaseincrashinvolvementduringtheearlystages of driving.While ouranalyses dididentifyseparable trajectory classes, none of the trajectories identified matched a pattern compatiblewithadecreaseincrashinvolvement.

One explanationof the apparentmismatch betweenoverall trajectoriesofbehaviorandcrashinvolvementfoundinthewider literatureissimplythatchangesintheaspectsofdrivingbehavior tappedbytheDBQarenotrelatedtothebehavioralchangesthat underliethedecreaseincrashinvolvementobservedovertheearly

stagesofdriving.Ifthisistruethenitraisesthequestionofwhich aspects of drivingbehavior do underliethe reducedcrash risk. Hazardperception,theabilitytoidentifypotentialsourcesofcrash riskinthedrivingenvironmentisoneaspectofdrivingthatmay notcorrelatewithDBQself-report(e.g.,Horswilland McKenna,

2004).Furtherresearchis neededtoassess thepossibility that

development of these skills underlie improvements in novice driversafetyoverthefirstfewmonthsofdriving.

Analternativepossibilityisthattrajectoriesofdriverbehavior arerelatedtotrajectoriesofcrashinvolvement,butthis relation-shipisnuancedbyinterveningfactorswhichmaymoderatethe relationship.Forexample,whileoveralllevelsofviolationincrease during early driving, drivers might also be learning the road situations where violations are particularly hazardous and desisting from violation in these situations only. This study therefore,callsforfutureresearchtoinvestigatewhetherdrivers becomemoreselectiveinthesituationsinwhichtheywillviolate acrossdevelopment.

Whilethecurrentstudydoesnotsupportasimplerolefor DBQ-measuredconstructsinunderpinningtheintra-individualchange incrashriskovertime,wedidfindevidenceconsistentwitharole fortheDBQconstructsinidentifyinginter-individualvariationin riskydrivingbehavioramongstnovicedrivers.Thesecondmain findingofthisstudywasthattherewassignificantvariabilityin initiallevelsandtrajectoriesofaberrantdriverbehaviorovertime and that this heterogeneity in individual trajectories was successfullyexplainedbythepresenceofmultiplehomogeneous groupsofdrivers,eachexhibitingspecifictrajectoriesofaberrant driverbehavior.Theinterceptwasmuchmoreimportantthanthe slopeindefiningthemodeledlatentclasses,indicatingdifferences betweendriversmanifestearly(i.e.,withinthefirst6monthsof driving)andremainrelativelyconsistent.

Ouridentificationof2–3classesofaberrantdriverbehavioris very similar tothe results reportedby the only studyto have investigatedlatenttrajectoriesofdriverbehavior(Simons-Morton

etal.,2013).Similartothefindingsofthecurrentstudy,

Simons-Mortonetal.(2013)havereportedthat3classesweregenerally

favoredbymodelfitindices,butthemoreparsimonious2class models(higherriskandlowerrisk)alsofittedthedataverywell. This similarity in results across the two studies is particularly reassuringgiventhateachstudyadoptedauniqueperspectiveto driver behavior:thecurrent studywas focusedonself-reported driver behavior that distinguishes between driving style (i.e., ordinaryandaggressiveviolations)andskill(i.e.,errorsandslips), whereas the previous study was focused on risky driving as measured by high gravitational force events, such as rapid accelerationordeceleration.

ThestudyconductedbySimons-Mortonetal.(2013)decidedin favor ofthe2 class models,a decisioninformed mainlybythe samplesizeofthethirdclass(3drivers,representing7.14%outofa totalof42drivers,aproportionsimilartothatinthecurrentstudy). However, owingtothemuch largersample size ofthe current study,allclassesinthe3classmodelspresentedhereincludeda substantialnumberofdrivers,withthesmallestclasscomprising 67drivers(thehighestriskclassalongthedimensionsofordinary violations).Theinspectionofgroupsintermsofgender composi-tionandagefurtherindicatedthat3classesmight,indeed,bemore informative than2 classes insomecases. In allfouraspects of aberrantdriverbehavior,the2classmodelsindicatedthatmale gender and younger age were risk factors for trajectories of heightenedaberrantdriverbehavior.Whilethisremainedthecase forthe3modelsofordinaryviolations,slipsandlapses,resultsfor the 3 class model of aggressive violations contained one unexpectedresult.Asexpected,maleswereat increasedrisk of being categorised in the moderate group; 35% of males were classified tothis group compared to 21%of females.

maleswerenotathigherriskthanfemalesofbeinginthehighest aggressiveviolationgroup;thisclasscontained7%ofmalesand7% of females. Furtherwork will berequired totest whether this genderequivalenceinthehigherlevelofaggressiveviolationsmay bereplicated.Moreinkeepingwiththeavailableliterature,young ageatlicensurewasasignificantriskfactorformembershipofthe highaggressiveviolationstrajectoryinthe3classmodel.

Thefindingthatyoungageisdetrimentalisnotsurprising.The moststraightforwardexplanation,andtheonemostoftencited,is that,duringtheteenyears,thereisapeakinpropensityfornovelty and sensation-seeking that is not mitigated by a parallel developmentofself-regulatoryabilitiesandmaythusresultina plethoraofriskyandantisocialbehaviors(Steinberg,2004).The teenagebrainmightnotbesufficientlydevelopedtotacklesucha complextaskasdriving.Drivingrequirestherecruitmentofseveral cognitivefunctions,includingworkingmemory,attentioncontrol, planning and inhibitory control. These functions, collectively knownasexecutivefunctioning(Hughes,2011)areseatedinthe prefrontalcortex,whichhasaveryprotracteddevelopmentthat extendsintoadolescence.Neuropsychologicaltestshave demon-strated that reduced EF is predictive of engagement in risky behavior, measured as a composite of multiple behaviors, includingriskydriving(Pharoetal., 2011).Indirectevidenceof theroleof theprefrontal cortexalsocomesfromstudiesofthe relationship between risky driving and disorders that involve deficits in EF, such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)(e.g.,BarkleyandCox,2007).

Research focusingontherelativecontributionof personality factorsandcognitiveability(includingtheinhibitionofresponses that might be associated with aggression) to aberrant driver behaviorremainsapriority.Theformer maybebestdealtwith through early intervention targeting risky driving attitudes, whereas a higher age limit for licensure might be the most effectiveapproach,ensuringdrivingdoesnotbeginuntilthebrain issufficientlymature.TheDBQattemptstoaddressthedistinction of personality and cognition through the identification of violationsandcognitivefailures,andtherehavebeenrecentcalls foranupdatetothetheoreticalstructurethatunderpinstheDBQin orderto betterreflect recent advances in cognitive psychology (Mattsson,2012).However,theDBQisaquestionnaireofgeneral driverbehavior,andnotspecificallynovicedriverbehavior.Further development and implementation of measures designed to capturedriverbehaviorearlyinthedrivingexperiencemayprove a useful addition to the measures already available to driving researchers.

Thecurrentstudyprovidessuggestionsforpolicyandpractice. Initial levels of aberrant driver behavior appeared to be more importantthanslopesinidentifyingsub-groupsofdrivers,aresult thatfavorsearlyinterventionandsupportspreviousconclusions

2006),orotherformsofprolongedsuperviseddriving.
