Recent news stories have suggested that speeding and stunt driving, common behaviours among young males (Vingilis et al., 2013; Wiesenthal and Singhal, 2012), have been occurring with greater frequency during COVID-19 in jurisdictions internationally (Australian Road Safety Foundation, 2020; BBC, 2020; Bellon, 2020; Bergal, 2020; City News, 2020; Dickinson, 2020), as well as speeding-related collisions (Paparella, 2020; Thompson, 2020). Concurrently, many social media video posts with titles such as “Covid-19 INFECTS the streets”, “Covid can’t shut this down!”, “BUSTED for STREET RACING during Quarantine”, “Social Distancing Tournament”, demonstrating street racing and stunt driving, have been uploaded on social media with thousands of views. Speeding and stunt driving offences may have increased in some jurisdictions. For example, a city of Toronto April 15, 2020 news release indicated that despite a dramatic decline in traffic volumes, Toronto Police reported a 35 % increase in speeding and an almost 200 % increase in stunt driving offences from March 15–31, 2020, compared to the same period last year (City of Toronto, 2020). Similarly, Kaji et al. (2020) reported that the California Highway Patrol issued almost 2500 citations for driving over 100 miles per hour from mid-March to mid-April 2020, an 87 % increase over 2019. In the United States, there was a 30 % increase in drivers speeding in excess of 100 miles per hour. However, it would be important to assess whether these preliminary findings are short-term and local or a longer-term trend.
Recent preliminary data analysis from the United States suggests some increase in speeding-related collisions. Carter (2020) found the proportion of all collisions in North Carolina that were speed-related increased from 1% before the pandemic lockdown to 2% during the lockdown, although total speeding-related collisions decreased during this period from the 5-year average of previous years. Preliminary data from Virginia indicated that during the period of March 13, 2020 through April 30, 2020, speeding-related collisions accounted for more than 23 % of total collisions, an 18.5 % increase over the same period last year and 19 % higher than the 5-year average (Lockwood et al., 2020). Furthermore, speeding-related fatalities accounted for approximately 48 % of overall fatalities during this time period, 41 % higher than the 5-year average (Lockwood et al., 2020). Hence, preliminary data have shown jurisdictional variations in speed and in speeding-related fatalities, but could small cohorts of drivers, especially young males, be excessively speeding due to lower traffic congestion on roadways? Moreover, could more speeding lead to more collisions and to greater injury severity in resulting collisions? Vehicle velocity is one determinant of collision risk and injury severity (Kröyer et al., 2014; Moore et al., 1995; Richards, 2010); however, with less traffic congestion, what is the collision risk of speeding?
Another vulnerable road user that could be affected by COVID-19 is the novice driver learning to drive. During COVID-19, jurisdictions have engaged in different policies regarding novice drivers; for example, some American states have repealed requirements for teen drivers to pass their road tests before acquiring their drivers’ licences (National Safety Council, 2020).
Answer:
The inability to retrieve a memory is one of the most common causes of forgetting. ... According to this theory, a memory trace is created every time a new theory is formed. Decay theory suggests that over time, these memory traces begin to fade and disappear.
