Comparison of the Accessibility and Content of Driving Records From Multiple States

Year: 2017
Type: conference-abstract
Abstract: Research examining driving among older adults suggests driving records can be used to measure moving violations and crashes as outcomes. Much of research on driving records in the United States is from a single state and therefore can’t address extent and impact of interstate differences in accessibility and content. Sources of variability may include request procedures (e.g. written, online, free or fee), timeline for obtaining data, mode of driving record information (e.g. electronic or paper files) and type of information in driving records (e.g. crash details). The Longitudinal Research on Aging Drivers (LongROAD) Study is obtaining driving records of approximately 3000 adults 65–79 years old in 5 states; initial data on 1,080 participants revealed 65 crashes and 162 violations in recent years. From this experience we compare states on process and cost of obtaining past and future driving records and differences in content of reports on crashes and moving violations.
