Literature Review on Risky Driving Videos on YouTube: Unknown Effects and Areas for Concern?

CONCLUSIONS: Every month about 1,000,000,000 individuals are reported to view YouTube videos (ebizMBA Guide, 2015) and young men are the heaviest users, overall streaming more YouTube videos and watching them longer than women and other age groups (Nielsen 2011 ). This group is also the most dangerous group in traffic, engaging in more per capita violations and experiencing more per capita injuries and fatalities (e.g. Reason et al. 1990 ; Parker et al. 1995 ; Transport Canada 2008 , 2015; World Health Organization 2015 ). YouTube also contains many channels depicting risky driving videos. The time has come for the traffic safety community to begin exploring these relationships.
