Products Maine's Seat Belt Law Change (from Secondary to Primary Enforcement) [Report]
Make Your Parties Rock-Substance free, Guide to Safe and Sober Event Planning [Manual] NHTSA and NOYS (National Organizations for Youth Safety) joined forces to develop this year-round party planner that outlines safe and sober alternatives to underage drinking. The planner shows how youth can enjoy special events in their lives, such as prom night, in a safe and substance-free environment and still have a great time. The planner includes ideas to plan safe and sober events, including party settings, themes and activities; promotional efforts to help spread the word about safe and sober events; and a list of resources and related materials to help support the theme that drinking alcohol is not necessary to give an amazing party. 9" x 11.5", four color, 30 pages and 1 poster.
Marijuana and Actual Driving Performance (Report) This report examines the effects of marijuana smoking on actual driving performance. It presents the results of several field studies. When used alone, marijuana produces a moderate degree of driving impairment which is related to the active chemical THC, dose. The impairment is manifested primarily in the difficulty in maintaining a steady position on the road. 133 pages.
Marijuana, Alcohol and Actual Driving Performance (Report) This report describes a study to measure the individual and combined effects of marijuana and alcohol on actual driving performance. Test subjects ranged in age from 20 to 28 years old, and driving tests were performed on real roads in normal traffic. 8.5" x 11", black and white, 43 pages.
May 2006 Click It or Ticket Seat Belt Mobilization Evaluation: Final Report [Report] This study evaluated NHTSAs 2006 National (CIOT)mobilization. This intense, short-duration, seat belt publicity and enforcement mobilization cost approximately $27 million for paid advertising that delivered an enforcement based message urging people to wear a seat belt or risk getting a citation. Between May 22 and June 4, 2006, law enforcement agencies issued more than 697,000 seat belt citations. Public awareness of the media message was high. Seat belt use increased in 37 of 50 States and Territories. The number of States reporting increases in statewide seat belt use and the amount of increase has been shrinking each succeeding year since national mobilizations began in 2002. In 2006, paid publicity decreased from levels between 2002 through 2005. The number of seat belt citations issued by law enforcement agencies also decreased in 2006. The National Occupant Protection Usage Survey indicated the nationwide seat belt use rate did not improve between 2005 and 2006. This report also includes results from other NHTSA demonstration programs that are searching for productive modifications to the typical CIOT process.
Medical Conditions and Driving (Report)
Methodology For Determining Motorcycle Operator Crash Risk And Alcohol Impairment, Volume 2: Literat
Methodology or Determining Motorcycle Operator Crash Risk and Alcohol Impairment, Volume 1: Synthesi
Misuse of Child Restraints (Report) The purpose of this study was to obtain a measure of the current level of misuse of child restraint systems (CRSs) among the general public. The project focused specifically on forms of misuse that can be expected to raise the risk of injury. CRS use and critical misuse data were collected in the Fall of 2002. Overall critical misuse was 72.6 percent. Recommendations are provided for periodic monitoring of CRS misuse, research needs and enforcement education. 8.5" x 11", two color, 55 pages.
Model Driver Screening and Evaluation Program-Guidelines for Motor Vehicle Administrators (Report) Guidelines for Motor Vehicle Administrators - this report describes the findings of a pilot project in the State of Maryland and includes suggestions for the licensing authorities to include in their assessments of drivers who are referred to the authority for medical reasons. 8.5" x 11", two color, 79 pages.
Model Driver Screening and Evaluation Program-Volume 1: This technical report describes the screening tests that were used in a pilot project in the State of Maryland to determine which tests can predict future crashes, as well as the procedures that were in place to deliver the screening tests. The study resulted in the description of a set of functional domains that, if there is a deficit, put drivers at increased risk of crashes. Volume 1 is an executive summary, with Volume 2 being the detailed technical report. 8.5 x 11, 2 color, 79 pages.
Model Driver Screening and Evaluation Program-Volume II: This technical report describes the screening tests that were used in a pilot project in the State of Maryland to determine which tests can predict future crashes, as well as the procedures that were in place to deliver the screening tests. The study resulted in the description of a set of functional domains that, if there is a deficit, put drivers at increased risk of crashes. Volume 2 is a detailed technical report. 8.5 X 11, 2 color, 79 pages.
Model Impaired Driving Records Information Systems-
Motivating Anti DWI Behavior Using Existing Values [Report] This project examined individuals existing values and how they can be utlized to deter drinking and driving behavior. Data was collected through interviews and focus groups with 18-29 year-old drivers. The objective was to determine what is important to individuals in this age group, and use that information to develop anti-DWI countermeasures. Study participants were found to have well developed attitudes about driving while impaired; that it was dangerous and wrong. However, most admitted to doing so on occasion. 181 pages.
Motivations for Speeding, Volume I: Summary Report This is Volume I of a three-volume report. It contains the results of a study that examined the speeding behavior of drivers in their own vehicles over the course of three to four weeks of naturalistic driving in urban (Seattle, Washington) and rural (College Station, Texas) settings. The purpose of this research was to (1) identify the reasons why drivers speed, (2) model the relative roles of situational, demographic, and personality factors in predicting travel speeds, (3) classify speeders, and (4) identify interventions, countermeasures, and strategies for reducing speeding behaviors.
Motor Vehicle Occupant Safety Survey (Report) This report presents findings from the first Motor Vehicle Occupant Safety Survey. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) conducted this survey to collect critical information needed by the agency to develop and implement effective safety countermeasures to improve traffic safety. Some results of this survey are: safety belt use is on the rise and most children are placed in safety seats when they are very young (under age two), but that use of car seat declines precipitously as the child grows larger. Black and white, 8.5" x 11",146 pages.

Multiple Medications and Vehicle Crashes: Analysis of Databases (Report)
This study examined the association of the impairing effects of multiple medication use, drug/drug interactions, and drug/disease interactions on motor vehicle crashes in individuals age 50 years and older. This study examined two databases: (1) the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS) survey database, and (2) the PharMetrics database to determine the relative frequency of various combinations of medications used by those who have experienced motor vehicle crashes (MVCs) and those who have not. This study suggest that both the kind and number of medication exposures, and the characteristics of diseases/disorders present among study subjects are associated with an increase in risk for MVCs among older adults.
