      <title>DO DEFENSIVE DRIVING COURSES MAKE BETTER DRIVERS?</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/309164</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Successful completion of the National Safety Council's Defensive Driving Course (DDC) or a high school driver training program does not statistically warrant a mandatory auto insurance discount.  In a report published earlier this year by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), the merits of the DDC were examined.  The report evaluated 16 studies of DDC, only five of which were considered "scientifically rigorous" or valid tests of DDC effectiveness.  IIHS Researchers A.K. Lund and A.F. Williams found that DDC had no effect on crashes and decreased the frequency of traffic violations only slightly.  Similarly, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) study of the effect of defensive driving courses on teenagers' accident rates found that neither a special driver education course emphasizing safety nor a less elaborate program of instruction has resulted in lower crash involvement or decreased traffic violations.]]></description>

      <title>CLOSING THE GAP: ARE SEATBELT LAWS CLOSER TO REALITY?</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/309165</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Safety authorities are convinced that mandatory seat belt laws, automatic restraints, or both should be imposed to assure maximum protection.  The Department of Transportation (DOT) recently (July 1984) created a controversy over which system works best, which should be mandated by law and when we should pass legislation for the safety of American motorists.  The DOT rule, called "Occupant Crash Protection," requires the installation of automatic crash protection (in the form of passive restraints) in American-made passenger cars.  Such protection is mandated on a four-year phase-in schedule beginning with 10% of new cars available in September 1986 and progressing to 100% of new cars by September 1, 1989.  The controversy appears in what many have called DOT's "trapdoor" clause for auto manufacturers.  It states that automatic restraint requirements will be rescinded if states accounting for at least two-thirds of the U.S. population enact mandatory seat belt use laws before April 1, 1989.  Rather than settling the dispute, this trapdoor further divides those who support seat belt legislation and advocates of automatic protection. But, it doesn't have to.  The Alliance of American Insurers, when faced with this dilemma, which seems to force a choice between air bags and seat belt laws, has chosen to save lives now by working for passage of mandatory seat belt use statutes while retaining the hope that passive restraints will also be available.]]></description>

      <title>TEENAGE DRINKING AND DRIVING. A JUVENILE EXPERIENCE</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/309286</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The article notes the need for parents to be concerned about teenagers with driving licenses.  Delaying the licensing age and adopting curfew laws for teenagers has proven effective, but the number of states with these laws are minimal.  A national grassroots movement promoting these two laws, similar to the one which encouraged states to raise the legal drinking age, could dramatically reduce the number of teenagers killed in motor vehicle accidents. This article discusses these issues.]]></description>
