Raw Normal View History

abstract: 'Objective Deaths and serious injuries among young drivers are an
important public health concern. Road safety researchers and policy
makers tend to focus on strategies to restrict the driving activities of
young people. Other social research suggests the disadvantages
experienced by young people in socially deprived groups are exacerbated
by not having a driving licence or owning a car. In this qualitative
study, we consider the views of young people from less affluent
backgrounds in the south-west of England who took part in a brief
intervention to encourage them to delay gaining a driving licence and
car ownership.
Methods Between September 2011 and January 2012, a researcher observed
four training sessions involving 173 young people. Postintervention,
digitally recorded focus groups were conducted at three venues involving
23 randomly selected young people. Data from the focus group transcripts
were sorted into charts in relation to key research questions and
scrutinised using constant comparison.
Results These young people believed the ability to drive, and car
ownership, could increase their independence, improve access to further
education, widen their employment opportunities, and enable them to
contribute to family or household responsibilities.
Conclusions We argue there is a potential conflict between some
strategies seeking to promote young driver safety and the impact this
may have on equity and social disadvantage. Interdisciplinary work is
required between professionals and researchers in transport, road
safety, public health and social equity. Government policies should
include low-cost, safe, reliable and attractive transport alternatives
for young people in more deprived communities.'
