Shedding on the nighttime driving risk An analysis of fatal crashes under dark conditions in the U.S., 1999-2008 Russell Henk, P.E., Senior Research Engineer Val Pezoldt, Research Scientist Bernie Fette, Senior Research Specialist Teens in the Driver Seat Center May, 2010

Summary of Analysis Researchers from the Texas Transportation Institute recently examined nighttime fatal crash trends over the past decade. The analysis showed that the proportion of drivers involved in nighttime fatal crashes nationwide has increased steadily from 1999 to 2008, even as the overall fatality rate (measured as deaths per 100 million vehicle miles traveled) and the total number of fatalities have generally declined nationwide over the same period. The ten-year increase in nighttime fatal crashes for 16- to 19-year-old drivers is greater than for drivers age 20 and older. The higher proportion of these crashes for older drivers can be attributed primarily to increased alcohol use. However, alcohol as a crash factor did not increase for younger drivers and in fact decreased marginally suggesting that other factors are responsible for the higher nighttime fatal crash proportion for this age group. Information from various sources suggests that the increase for younger drivers could largely be due to an interaction of driver distraction caused by talking and texting on cell phones and other characteristics of nighttime driving. Figure 1 The proportion of drivers involved in fatal crashes at night has increased nationwide over the past decade, even as the overall number of fatalities and fatal crashes has declined. 1

Driving at night is the most common documented crash-causing danger encountered by inexperienced drivers, but surveys indicate that very few of those drivers are aware of the added risk presented by nighttime conditions. Chances of a crash are further increased when other risk factors are present, and cell phone use by teens represents a risk factor that has become increasingly pervasive over the past ten years. Figure 2 Statistics suggest that alcohol is contributing to the increase in nighttime fatal crashes for drivers age 20 and older, but the same is not true for teenage drivers. Background Driving at night is a common risk factor for all drivers, but it is particularly dangerous for young drivers. Distractions, speeding, low seat belt use and alcohol are also among the most frequently-faced dangers, but it is the nighttime risk that ranks at the top of the list for the youngest motorists on the road, primarily due to a combination of the visibility challenges caused by dark conditions, slower response time brought about by fatigue, and a lack of experience driving under such conditions. 2

Visibility and Fatigue The average person s field of vision is smaller without the aid of, and glare from oncoming heads can further limit the ability to see clearly and avoid hazards. And according to the National Sleep Foundation, the average teenager requires at least nine hours of sleep per night, but typically gets less than seven hours. The resulting fatigue, especially late at night, can contribute to impairment that is similar to being intoxicated. These visibility and fatigue issues are exacerbated by the limited amount of experience possessed by teenage drivers. Without sufficient training and practice, young drivers are at greater risk, risk that is further compounded by the challenges associated with driving at night. License Restrictions It is largely for these reasons that most states include a nighttime driving restriction in Graduated Driver License (GDL) laws. The laws are designed in part to limit novice drivers exposure to the greatest dangers they face. In most states with a GDL law, the nighttime restriction and a limit on the number of passengers allowed are the most widely implemented features of that law. GDL laws vary widely from state to state, and the same is true of the nighttime restriction that constitutes a key component of those laws. In 2009, both the Highway Data Loss Institute (HDLI) and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) documented in separate reports the positive results that can be expected from GDL laws that include a nighttime driving restriction. In Graduated Driver Licensing Laws and Insurance Collision Claim Frequencies of Teenage Drivers, the HDLI determined that the frequency of collision claims declined by 7.3 percent for 16- and 17-year-old drivers who faced a prohibition on driving after midnight. The report further stated that a restriction beginning at 9 p.m. would produce a reduction of 11.4 percent. In Graduated Licensing Laws and Fatal Crashes of Teenage Drivers: A National Study, the IIHS determined that a nighttime driving restriction beginning at 1 a.m. produced a 9 percent reduction in the fatal crash rate for 15- to 17-year old drivers in 100,000 teenagers associated with specific GDL components. Restrictions beginning at 8 p.m. could be expected to produce a 20 percent reduction in the fatal crash rate for those drivers, although no states currently have a restriction beginning at that hour. Lack of Awareness Despite its place at the top of the list for young drivers, the danger of nighttime driving is not well recognized by young drivers. In surveys of nearly 20,000 Texas teenagers conducted by the Teens in the Driver Seat Center of the Texas Transportation Institute, only 3 percent cited the nighttime risk. In the 3

same assessment, 21 percent of teens reported that they drive after 10 p.m. sometimes, and 28 percent said that they do so a lot. Similar results have been noted in more limited survey samples in Georgia, California and Connecticut. Findings Data for this analysis was drawn from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS), which is maintained by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The years from 1999 to 2008 comprised the analysis period, reflecting the ten most recent years for which data are available. For purposes of this analysis, the conditions coded as dark and dark but ed were combined to reflect the percentage of crashes occurring under those conditions. The analysis examined nighttime fatal crashes overall, as well as nighttime crashes in which alcohol was a contributing factor Findings indicated: The proportion of nighttime fatal crashes rose by 7.5 percent over the decade examined for drivers age 20 and older, and by 10.2 percent for teen drivers. This increase was concurrent with a general decline in traffic fatalities nationwide without regard to age or time of day, which fell from 41,717 to 37,261 (a decrease of 10.6 percent) as well as a similar decline in fatal crashes from 37,140 to 34,017 (a decrease of 8.4 percent). The proportion of drivers in nighttime fatal crashes involving alcohol grew by 6 percent for drivers age 20 and older, but fell by almost 1 percent among teen drivers. While fatal motorcycle crashes increased sharply overall during the study period (111 percent), the percentage of those crashes happening at night declined by 8 percent. Cell Phone Use and Texting FARS data on cell phone use in fatal crashes are not yet substantial or complete enough to have been considered in this analysis. Experience to date has shown that such data are difficult to collect consistently, and that events are generally regarded as being substantially underreported. However, several facts gathered from other sources point to a steady and rapid growth of cell phone ownership and use, with a significant portion of that use taking place in motor vehicles: 4

According to CITA-The Wireless Association, the number of cell phone subscribers across the U.S. grew from 86 million in 1999 to 262 million in 2008 an increase of 204 percent. During the same time, cell phone subscribers as a segment of the U.S. population grew from 38 percent to 87 percent. Cell phone ownership among teens is growing roughly three times faster than it is for adults. An August 2009 study by the Pew Research Center, Teens and Mobile Phones Over the Past Five Years: Pew Internet Looks Back, found that cell phone ownership among adults grew from 65 percent in 2004 to 77 percent in 2008 (18.4 percent increase), while it grew from 45 percent to 71 percent among teens (57.7 percent increase). A review by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration demonstrates that handheld cell phone use by 16- to 24-year old drivers has been substantially higher than it has been for drivers age 25 and older in each year from 2002 to 2008. Figure 3 Cell phone use while driving is considerably more common for younger drivers than for older drivers. 5

A November 2009 study by the Pew Research Center, Teens and Distracted Driving, notes that 82 percent of all U.S. teens own a cell phone; of those who use the phone for texting, 34 percent say they have texted while driving, and 52 percent say they have talked on the cell phone while driving. The study also noted that 48 percent of all teens ages 12-17 say they have been in a car when the driver was texting, and 40 percent say they have been in a car when the driver used a cell phone in a way that put themselves or others in danger. Recent research indicates that texting now takes place more frequently mongst teens that ever before and is the communication method of choice for this age group, with 54 percent of teens texting on a daily basis compared to 38 percent placing a call on a cell phone (daily). The average teen sends and receives 1,500 text messages a month (3,000 per month for female teens). Texting is an ingrained part of the teen communication culture. A 2009 assessment of teen driving behavior in Texas by the Teens in the Driver Seat Center of the Texas Transportation Institute produced the same finding as the second Pew study noted above that 52 percent of teens said they have talked on a cell phone while driving. According to NHTSA, the highest incidence of distracted driving occurs in the under-20 age group. Other considerations In addition to the distraction element, previous studies indicate that both speeding and seat belt use should be considered among the factors contributing to all fatal crashes, but especially for those happening after dark. Research conducted for NHTSA has shown that belt use varies by as much as 30 percent from daytime to nighttime. In addition, speed is present as a factor in nighttime fatal crashes almost twice as often as it is in crashes during the day. While motorcycle crashes increased substantially during the period examined in this analysis, those crashes do not appear to have contributed to the nighttime trend. During those years, the number of fatal motorcycle crashes did increase sharply, from 2,340 to 4,954. However, the proportion of those crashes happening at night declined from 40 percent to 36.5 percent over the same period. Conclusions The findings of this analysis suggest that alcohol is contributing to an increase in nighttime fatal crashes involving drivers age 20 and older. However, the same is not true for teenage drivers, suggesting 6

that factors other than alcohol are responsible for the trend of increased nighttime crashes for teens. It is likely that distractions (a common driving risk factor for teenagers) in the form of talking or texting on cell phones is prominent among those factors. Other dominant risk factors for teenage drivers (lack of experience, additional teenage passengers, speeding, not wearing seat belts, and alcohol) have been present and well recognized for many years, long before cellular communication became prevalent. However, it is cell phone use propelled by rapid technological advancement and increased affordability that is likely the most notable new driving risk factor for contemporary teens. FARS data is not yet sufficiently comprehensive with regard to the use of in-vehicle technology to support the suggested link between cell phone use and increased nighttime fatal crashes. There is, however, substantial evidence demonstrating that cell phone use is growing rapidly (far more quickly for teenagers than it is for individuals age 20 and older) and that much of that use takes place behind the wheel. Furthermore, there are numerous studies documenting the negative influence that cell phone use has on driving. Clearly, the use of a cell phone complicates the driving task substantially for all drivers. The effects of this risk factor are compounded by the compromised vision and fatigue that characterize the nighttime driving environment, and for teenagers, the problem is further exacerbated by a lack of driving experience. The nighttime risk is the most common one faced by novice drivers, yet only 3 percent of teenagers are aware of the dangers presented by driving at night. Consequently, efforts to reverse the nighttime fatal crash trend face considerable obstacles until greater awareness and understanding of the nighttime driving danger can be achieved, not only among teenage drivers, but also among parents and others who influence those drivers. 7
