چکیده
INTRODUCTION Drivers aged 16-24 are greatly over-represented in the statistics regarding crashes and fatalities on the road [1] , also in Australia [2]. Only 16% of driver licences in Australia are held by young drivers, aged 17-25 years, while this group makes up almost one third of all road crashes; the youngest drivers, 17-20 year olds, have a crash rate almost three times that of older drivers, 40-49 year olds [3]. Young male drivers are more at risk than young female drivers and this risk has increased in the last decade [4] .
