Further research is necessary to fully understand how driving exposure and diversity during the learner's stage and/or early independent stage of driving affects subsequent crash risk. Objectives This research was conducted to evaluate how exposure to driving in diverse traffic and road environments during the learner's permit period and early independent driving is associated with crashes and/or other safety surrogates as well as teen driver behavior in later independent driving.

To understand factors associated with driving diversity, the research team used a range of measures, including TOD and day of week, as well as a novel measure, route familiarity, which captured whether the individual had driven a particular route before. The research findings confirm that teens had higher rates of hard braking events during nighttime driving and on unfamiliar routes, but also had higher rates of fast starts on familiar routes.

Additionally, providing information to parents and driver's education instructors regarding the importance of supervised practice driving hours that include driving in nighttime conditions, on a wide variety of road types, with different kinds of roadway infrastructure will reduce crash occurrence for teen drivers.
