Table A-1. List of key independent variables.

Variable	Levels	Operational Definition
Driving Phase	Learner’s Permit Phase	Driving time while holding learner’s permit.
	Early Independent Driving Phase	Driving time during first 6 months of independent driving.
	Later Independent Driving Phase	Driving time during months 7 through 12 of independent driving (SHRP 2)/Driving time during months 6 through 12 of independent driving (SPDS).
Driving Exposure	Less Exposure	Driving exposure that is less than the median normalized total hours of driving during learner’s permit phase for SPDS and early independent driving phase for SHRP 2 NDS.
Driving Exposure	More Exposure	Driving exposure that is more than the median normalized total hours of driving during the learner’s permit phase for SPDS and early independent driving phase for SHRP 2 NDS.
Functional Road Classification	FC 1 and 2	Driving that occurs on controlled -access highways and/or high-speed highways that connect distant cities/communities.
Functional Road Classification	FC 3, 4, and 5	Driving that occurs on shorter distance connectors, arterials, and/or residential streets.
Vehicle Access	Primary access to vehicle	Primary access to vehicle means that the teen was the driver for more than 50% of all trips in that vehicle.
Vehicle Access	Share family vehicle	Share family vehicle means that the teen drove less than 50% of all trips in the vehicle.
Time of Day	Daytime	There is some sunlight visible in the environment (6:00am–8:00pm).
Time of Day	Nighttime	There is no sunlight visible in the environment (8:00pm–6:00am).
Day of Week	Weekday	Day of week is Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday.
Day of Week	Weekend	Day of week is Saturday or Sunday.
Route Familiarity	Familiar/Unfamiliar	Familiar was defined as 70% of the GPS data overlap with a prior trip and the trip length was within .02 miles of a prior trip.

Variable	Levels	Operational Definition
Sex	Female/Male	Participants indicated on self-reported demographic data that they were female or male.
Seatbelt	Yes/No	Seatbelt was observed in use or seatbelt was observed as not in use.
Passenger Presence	Adult	Any passenger in the front passenger seat who appeared older than 20 was labeled an adult.
	Teen	A front seat passenger who appeared to be younger than 20 but older than 13 was deemed a teenager.
	Child	A front seat passenger who appeared younger than 13 was labeled a child.
	No Passenger	No passenger meant no passenger in front seat.
