Highlights ► Young adults attempt to engage in protective strategies to stop unsafe driving. ► A psychosocial model (self-processes, contextual cues) explain protective behaviour. ► A positive role for novice drivers’ peers may be enhanced.

    Abstract Young adults are over-represented in motor vehicle crashes and the carrying of same passengers puts them at greater risk of crashing. The current study examined characteristics of the passengers who might play a positive role in reducing friends’ crashes by actively engaging in strategies to protect such friends. A psychosocial theoretical model of prosocial behaviour including self-process and contextual cues explained intervening behaviour among primarily novice driver college students (n =242) with the exception of the self-process, perspective taking. The results of this study provide support for countermeasure development that accounts for the positive role of peers to increase road safety, and reduce the incidence of crashes, among young adults.
