Do you believe that passengers in the car while you are driving, is distracting? Explain __Yeah - at first, however, after a while you can't blame other people for your own inability to concentrate; you just have to ignore the noise and find some way to focus on driving well

None - I'm way too chicken to do something stupid

Do you believe that more driver education and driving course are necessary? Why?
_I think there are plenty of options for this kind of thing already but the problem is not making the general public aware that these programs are available.
Do you believe that society and the government are doing enough to encourage safe driving behaviours? Do you believe they are addressing the problem? Do you believe it is working? __I think they are trying to and I think that it hard for them to try and improve young people's driving skills because a fair few of them aren't going to change even if the PM came up to their door and slapped a fine on them. Parents and friends should be making a bigger effort in this area,

Hell yes. The RTA are fucking stupid. They don't teach you how to drive a car. As long as you can do silly things like drive at 50kmh and do a parallel park, SURE, HERE'S YOUR LICENSE. I completed an Driver Education couse at Eastern Creek Motorway a few months ago and that was realyl good. They taught you about things and I got to feel what emergency braking is like in a controlled environment.

Do you believe that society and the government are doing enough to encourage safe driving behaviours? Do you believe they are addressing the problem? Do you believe it is working? No. Greater need for DECENT practical driver education

My Question is :Main influences on young drivers (17-25 years old) that engage them in risk taking behaviours....

Age:
17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25

Gender:
Male

Female

What licence do you currently hold?

P1.

How often do you usually drive a car or other motor vehicle? How many times a week?

At least once a day to get to and from school. Weekends at least once a day. I also drive to my church Youth Group on a Friday Night. I'd say in the region of 20 trips per week, all at around 15 minutes each, depending.

What do you believe are the main influences that affect young drivers?

Other drivers, peers, luggage/passengers on board, police presence.

Have you ever felt pressured by other drivers on the road? Yes No
If yes…..
How do you feel pressured by these drivers?

Tailgaters make me want to go faster to get them off my arse. Other than that, pretty much no. Truckies are annoying too.

Have you ever sped? Yes No
If yes…..

How many km/h over did you go?
Time for me to be incriminated, I guess.
I often drive through town in a 60 zone at 65.
Fastest I have ever been is 100km/h in a completely empty 50 zone (country for the win).
Fastest I have ever been is 120km/h on the freeway. (30km/h over).

Have you ever driven under the influence of drugs or alcohol? Yes No
I have never and will never drive whilst directly under the influence (i.e. on the night of drinking), however I have driven home whilst hungover.

Do you believe that passengers in the car while you are driving, is distracting? Explain
Yes, they can be distracting depending on certain situations. If they are talking to you, there is a mild distraction. If they are being stupid, it is a larger distraction. Another common misconception is that it is only young people that distract. I find that I am distracted as much, if not more than young people by older people such as parents and relatives.

Have you ever driven with friends? Yes No
If yes…



Did you feel pressured by the passengers? Yes No
If yes…

What were they pressuring you to do? Speed Race another vehicle

Drive under the influence of drug/alcohol

Other
I felt pressured to offer a safe ride and ensure that they got home safely. I carry my band and other friends around a lot of the time and they have never negatively pressured me in any way, shape or form. Mind you, this is not direct pressure from the people themselves, this is pressure placed on myself by myself due to their presence.

Did you give into the pressure and do what they said? Yes No
Think about it....

What type of risks have you taken while driving?
If speeding is a risk, there it is. That's it.

Have you ever been involved in a car accident? If yes specify what it was due to (e.g speeding, drink driving, Negligence etc)

No.

Do you believe that more driver education and driving course are necessary? Why?
The DART is incredibly easy to pass and is not a comprehensive enough test of one's driving skills.

Do you believe that society and the government are doing enough to encourage safe driving behaviours? Do you believe they are addressing the problem? Do you believe it is working?
The government and media are doing a fine job of addressing the problem, however the media tend to make gross generalisations based upon the actions of a small majority. As such, a negative stereotype is placed upon young drivers and has manifested itself into society's thinking so much that it has become a topical issue when it really should not have. Compare the driving system we have now to the system we had 30/40 years ago. It's a lot better, except for teh stupid DART test.
The government are doing fine to encourage safe driving behaviour, although the ads are a little too biased for my liking.

What type of driver would you call yourself?
Risk taker easily influenced Safe driver

Other Relatively Safe Driver. I can drive safely when I need to, but being the male that I am, I am bound to try a few things, although I don't try things such as drifting etc. The only time I will not drive safely is when I am the only person in the car and the road ahead is empty and safe. If I have other people in the car with me, I keep to speed limits and drive like a grandmother, essentially.

yeah, people talking, laughing etc ensures that you're not TOTALLY concentrating on driving. in saying that it has about as much effect on me as turning on the radio i guess, which isn't much at all.

making odd turn/crossing intersections where i should have given way (its marginal though).

Do you believe that more driver education and driving course are necessary? Why?

yes, because while most young drivers are able enough, they can make stupid decisions.

Do you believe that society and the government are doing enough to encourage safe driving behaviours? Do you believe they are addressing the problem? Do you believe it is working?

they probably aren't doing enough, despite the new legislation. well i think the speeding rule is a good one and will work over the long run (i know i always watch my speed), but the curfew rule and extra 70 learner hours is pointless to be honest.

What type of risks have you taken while driving? Mostly just driving fast, not necessarily speeding though. I like to try and take bends without slowing down.

Have you ever been involved in a car accident? If yes specify what it was due to (e.g speeding, drink driving, Negligence etc)
A lady crashed into the back of my car at an intersection because of her negligence. I was still on my Ls at the time.

Do you believe that more driver education and driving course are necessary? Why?
Young drivers should be taught how to handle a car properly, not how to do hillstarts and 3-point turns.

Do you believe that society and the government are doing enough to encourage safe driving behaviours? Do you believe they are addressing the problem? Do you believe it is working? Young people are always going to be drive dangerously. More people should die so they don't breed.

Do you believe that more driver education and driving course are necessary? Why?
Yes, and not only for P platers. I'm always getting overtaken while I'm doing the speed limit byt people who haven't got P plates. Full licensed drivers should set a good example for P platers by doing the right things themselves and not speeding and gives us ruled and curfews.
P plates should be educated on the consequences of speeding and other reckless activities so they are more aware.

Do you believe that society and the government are doing enough to encourage safe driving behaviours? Do you believe they are addressing the problem? Do you believe it is working? Kinda. The new ads with the pinky are trying to scare boys into not speeding and doing stupid things but I don't think it's working. I think the ads should show people the consequences of speeding like death and injury to friends, that would make people slow down I think.
