The present volume presents the results of an experiment conducted to determine if young drivers (males aged 18-24) perceive the risk of accident involvement differently from experienced drivers (males aged 38-50). The effect of seat belt use on perceived risk of accident involvement was also assessed. The results show that young drivers do perceive the risk of accident involvement differently than do experienced drivers. Specifically, young drivers see speeding as less risky than do experienced drivers, while driving on snow-covered roads is seen as more risky by young drivers. The results of this study suggest that increasing the perception of risk of an accident for younger drivers would be helpful in reducing risk taking behavior.
