A recent examination of the crashworthiness of vehicles in South Australia revealed that the preponderance of fatal or injury crashes in South Australia were observed to involve young drivers in old cars. It has been proposed that the tendency for younger drivers to drive older vehicles is simply due to the financial costs of buying a car, as such it is likely that the prohibitive costs of buying a new vehicle are likely an issue for other low-income groups. Evidence further indicates that drivers from low SES backgrounds also have an increased crash risk. The aim of the present study is to obtain a better understanding of crashes involving old cars and to identify drivers for whom these crashes are an issue. Using TARS data from 19,648 serious injury or fatal crashes occurring during the period 2001-2009 this study found some evidence that young drivers and drivers from low or middle socio-economic backgrounds are more likely to be involved in a crash involving an older vehicle. There is some evidence that older vehicles carry inherent crash risks. The implications of these findings with regard to vehicle safety technologies are discussed.

"A story of carnage and life-long consequences. A brave and unsettling account." --Tim Winton, author of Dirt Music, Breath and Cloudstreet After a car crash kills three of his friends, but leaves him unscathed, Lech Blain struggles to survive his trauma, grief, and the impulse to mask his feelings on social media in this powerful memoir about recovering from a tragic accident. On a May night in 2009, seven boys piled into one car. They never arrived at their destination. The driver made a routine error, leading to a head-on collision. Three of the passengers were killed and two left in comas, but seventeen-year-old Lech Blaine walked away unscathed. In the aftermath, rumours about drunk driving erupted in Lech's small town. There was intense scrutiny from the media and police. Lech used alcohol to numb his trauma and social media to show the male stoicism he had grown up with, all while secretly spiraling towards depression and shame. This is a riveting account of family, friendship, grief, and love after tragedy. In a tight-knit community where class and sport dominate, and in a media landscape where car crashes compete with floods and pandemics for headlines, Lech shows that our connection with others is what propels us on. Heartbreaking and darkly hilarious, Car Crash is a story for our times.

A journalist recounts the surprising history of accidents and reveals how they’ve come to define all that’s wrong with America. We hear it all the time: “Sorry, it was just an accident.” And we’ve been deeply conditioned to just accept that explanation and move on. But as Jessie Singer argues convincingly: There are no such things as accidents. The vast majority of mishaps are not random but predictable and preventable. Singer uncovers just how the term “accident” itself protects those in power and leaves the most vulnerable in harm’s way, preventing investigations, pushing off debts, blaming the victims, diluting anger, and even sparking empathy for the perpetrators. As the rate of accidental death skyrockets in America, the poor and people of color end up bearing the brunt of the violence and blame, while the powerful use the excuse of the “accident” to avoid consequences for their actions. Born of the death of her best friend, and the killer who insisted it was an accident, this book is a moving investigation of the sort of tragedies that are all too common, and all too commonly ignored. In this revelatory book, Singer tracks accidental death in America from turn of the century factories and coal mines to today’s urban highways, rural hospitals, and Superfund sites. Drawing connections between traffic accidents, accidental opioid overdoses, and accidental oil spills, Singer proves that what we call accidents are hardly random. Rather, who lives and dies by an accident in America is defined by money and power. She also presents a variety of actions we can take as individuals and as a society to stem the tide of “accidents”—saving lives and holding the guilty to account.

The worst crash in motor racing history - killing more than 80 people - was produced by a ferocious and haunting combination of circumstances: nationalism, raw speed, the nature of a 24-hour race, and chance. The crash drew in Mike Hawthorn, the blond playboy from Farnham, in a Jaguar, and Juan-Manuel Fangio, one of the greatest drivers of all, in a Mercedes. A crowd of 250,000 watched hypnotised as Hawthorn set out to break Fangio, the two cars going faster and faster...and faster. Another English playboy, Lance Macklin, was caught up in the crash in his Austin-Healey, along with a 50-year-old Frenchman driving under the assumed name of Pierre Levegh. He was in the wrong place at the wrong time. It cost him his life, even as his car was torn to pieces that scythed into the dense crowd. In this new and full study of the fateful day, Christopher Hilton sets the race itself in the context of the 1950s. Through a host of interviews - with drivers, team members, journalists and spectators - and original research at Le Mans and in the Mercedes archive in Stuttgart, he recreates every aspect of the race and the crash. Much of the material has never been seen before.He examines the aftermath - the bitter blame game, the conflicting testimonies, the direct threat to motorsport in Europe - and chronicles the beginning of the culture of safety that has affected what we see of motorsport on our television screens today.
