Young adults have a tendency to drive unsafely and put themselves at a high level of risk. Continuous lane-changing is one such kind of risky behavior. This study aimed to investigate the factors that influence young drivers based on an integrated model of the prototype willingness model (PWM) and the theory of planned behavior (TPB). The validity of the model was evaluated by data collected. Factors Affecting Young Driver Safety N/A 7. Author(s) 8. Performing Organization Report No. Lisa Aultman-Hall and Patrycja Padlo JHR 9.
