Riwayat Hotel Terseram Di Dunia (Haunted Hotel)
1. Hotel Crescent
Dibangun tahun 1886, “Hotel Cresent” ini dipercaya sebagai hotel paling
angker di Amerika karena berhantu. Cerita berawal ketika hotel ini mengalami
kebangkrutan dan untuk kali pertamanya di ‘tranformasikan’ sebagai sekolah.
Di tahun 1937 hotel tersebut dibeli oleh Norman Baker, seorang Dokter, ia
pun mendirikan yayasan untuk penyembuhan penyakit kanker. Baker akhirnya
merubah hotel tersebut menjadi rumah sehat. Meskipun begitu, para pasien
yang datang untuk berobat tak kunjung sembuh dan akhirnya meninggal di
hotel tersebut. Sejak itulah, para arwah pasien bergentayangan dan sering
menampakkan diri dihadapan para tamu hotel.
Crescent Hotel
During the 1930's the hotel was used as an experimental cancer hospital. "Dr." Norman Baker claimed to be a licensed physician and charged families their life savings for treatments. Several apparitions from the hospital visit the hotel today. "Dr." Baker has been seen in the hotel lobby wearing a purple shirt and white linen suit. A nurse pushing a gurney has been seen in the old morgue area.
The Crescent Hotel has so many ghost stories to tell that the hotel gives ghost tours.
History of the 1886 Crescent Hotel & Spa in Eureka Springs, Arkansas
"The Grand Old Lady of the Ozarks" was constructed by Irish stone masons. The hotel was built to be the grandest hotel west of the Mississippi. The newly completed railroad brought thousands of tourists to use the local springs for recuperative health treatments.
The palatial hotel attracted the elite "Carriage Set". The hotel was outfitted with 100 horses that provided a steed for everyone to ride.
The hotel had different uses over the years. For a period of time it was used as an all girls school.
In the 1930's it was a cancer hospital which closed in 1940. Dr.Norman Baker portrayed himself as a crusader as he railed against the exploitation of the common man. In truth, Dr. Norman Baker was a vaudevillian performer selling an elixir that was a formula containing glycerin, carbolic acid and alcohol mixed with tea from water melon seed, brown corn silk and clover leaves. "Dr.:" Baker was not a doctor at all, but a slick snake oil salesman draining the most vulnerable people of their life savings. The result of his quackery was that many cancer patients lost their lives under his "treatment". Baker was sentenced to four years in Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary in 1940. Many of the spirits at the hotel are believed to be patients of the quack.
The hotel was closed from 1940 to 1946, during the World War II years. Three new Chicago investors purchased the hotel in 1946 and restored it to its original hotel appearance.
A fire destroyed most of the fourth floor in 1967. In the 1970's and 1980's the quaint Victorian appearance of the hotel was discovered by national and international tourists.
The hotel was purchased by historic preservationists Martin & Elise Roegnik, in 1997. Mover that $5 million has been invested in renovations in the hotel with views of the Ozark Mountains. The New Moon Spa combines ancient and contemporary methods of invigoration, healing and relaxation. The Crystal Dining Room is th hotel restaurant.

2. Queen Mary Hotel
Dahulunya “Queen Mary” ini adalah kapal pesiar mewah. Melakukan pelayaran
untuk kali pertamanya di tahun 1936. Queen Mary sanggup berlayar bahkan
menyebrangi samudera Atlantik. Karena kecepatan dan ‘performancenya’ yang
tangguh tak ayal jika Queen Mary menjadi terkenal dan merupakan kapal pesiar
paling mahal di dunia pada zamannya. Sebut saja nama-nama pesohor yang terkenal
karena kekejamannya seperti Clark Gable, Mary Pickford, Greta Garbo bahkan
Winston Churchill, sempat berlayar dengan kapal mewah ini. Tapi sayangnya,
saat perang terjadi di Inggris kapal ini diambil alih oleh pasukan militer
“The Grey Ghost” untuk menyebrangi Atlantik demi menjalankan misi perang.
Saat itu pula Queen Mary bertabrakan dengan kapal HMS Curacao sehingga
mengakibatkan kapal terbelah menjadi dua dan 300 kru kapal meninggal dunia.

tempat perkantoran dengan berbagai aktifitas bisnis. Setelah beberapa tahun
kemudian tempat ini direnovasi dan berubah fungsi menjadi hotel. Sejak
transformasi menjadi hotel, bangunan sering dimunculkan dengan kejadian-kejadian
ganjil seperti penampakan hantu, bahkan tamu yang datang ke hotel ini sering kali
di beri wejangan hantu-hantu yang berkeliaran, salah satunya penampakan hantu anak kecil.
Pada pertengahan 1990 saja seorang tamu hotel menangkap 3 gambar aneh di
kameranya yang tak lain adalah gambar hantu.
5. Hotel Del Coronado

Crescent Hotel
Guests have reported sightings and other odd happenings in a number of guest rooms, the lobby, dining room and the grounds of this great historic hotel in Haunted Eureka Springs.
You don't need to stay in a haunted room to see a real ghost at the Crescent Hotel. Outside of the Recreation Room, the ghost of Dr. Norman Baker often appears, looking a bit confused. He ran a controversial hospital and health resort in the building during the 1930s. Many people believe honestly that the spring water that flows underneath the hotel is high in energy and it attracts ghostly apparitions. Is this just a publicity gimmick to help a failing hotel? It could be, but actually the hotel was starting to do well before the ghosts were sighted.
The Crystal Dining Room of the Crescent Hotel is particularly active, and many spirits in Victorian garb hve been spotted there at the tables or in the mirrors. Once, at Christmastime, the staff reported leaving a Christmas tree and presents at one end of the locked and empty Crystal Dining Room. Upon their return, the staff found the tree and presents moved to the other end of the room, and chairs facing the tree in a semi-circle.
Please also see www.crescent-hotel.com/history.htm
The hotel was designed by the architect Isaac L. Taylor in 1886.It was used as a hotel for several years before it could no longer sustain itself financially.
In 1908, the hotel was opened as the Crescent College and Conservatory for Young Women. Soon it couldn't afford to stay open as a school either.The school closed in 1924 and then reopened from 1930 to 1934 as a junior college.
The Crescent was leased as a summer hotel after the school closed. In 1937, it got a new owner.Norman Baker turned the place into a hospital and health resort. Baker was an inventor and had made millions of dollars by 1934.Baker wasn't happy just inventing things because he thought of himself as a doctor (even though he had no medical training). He claimed to have discovered a number of "cures" for various ailments, including cancer.He was sure that organized medicine was conspiring against him. He had recently been ran out of Iowa for practicing medicine without a license.Baker moved his cancer patients to Arkansas and he advertised the health resort.The "cure" was basically drinking the natural spring water. No one was really harmed by this, but it wasn't really the advertised "miracle cure". Federal charges were filed against him for mail fraud and he spent four years in prison. The Crescent Hotel was left ownerless.
The hotel stayed closed until 1946 when new investors took it over and began trying to restore this odd and historical piece of Ozark history.

QUEEN MARY
Bigger than the Titanic, The Queen Mary was the pride of the Cunard Lines. She carried many distinguished guests, and during WWII was converted to carry troops to the front. It was during one of these troop carrying missions that one of the most horrific episodes of her history occurred. On October 2, 1942 the Queen Mary was rounding Ireland on the last leg of her journey. At this time, she was joined by the HMS Curacoa and 6 destroyers as she was within Luftwaffe range. The Queen Mary was zig zagging in her course to make it difficult for U-boats in the area to target her. Because of the zig zag pattern, the Curacoa and the destroyers were told to stay ahead of the Queen Mary. The turbulence from all of the ships made a heavy wash and forced the ships to make minor adjustments in their courses.
Down in engine and fire rooms of the Queen Mary, a slight bump was felt. No one thought anything of it as the ship was unscathed and kept on its course. The "bump" was the HMS Curacoa. The slight change in course caused the Queen Mary to nudge the Curacoa's stern, sending the ship into the path of the massive ocean liner. Because the orders were to continue on no matter what, the Queen Mary did not stop and snapped the HMS Curacoa in two. Of 439 men aboard 338 were lost.
In October of 1967, The Queen Mary made her way to Long Beach, CA where she was going to be converted into a floating hotel. During the transition between ship and hotel, strange things began happening.

Lizzie Borden Took an Axe
Andrew Borden
On August 4, 1892, the bodies of Andrew Borden, 70, and Abby Borden, 65, were found in their home in Fall River, Massachusetts. Andrew's corpse lay on the living room couch, his face cut by eleven blows. It was his daughter, Lizzie, who found him. She was thirty-two and living at home. The only other person in the house was the maid, Bridget Sullivan.
Lizzie Borden
Lizzie sent Bridget for the doctor, claiming that she had gone into the barn, leaving the back door unlocked. Whoever had murdered her father, she said, must have come in that way. It wasn't long before a neighbor offering to help found Lizzie's stepmother dead upstairs, also from some eighteen to twenty blows with an ax.
The Lizzie Borden Bed & Breakfast
The home at 92 Second Street opened in 1996 as a Bed & Breakfast. It has since changed hands, but still offers lodgings, tours, a gift shop...and then some. With help from crime scene photos, the house was made to resemble its condition on that August morning.
Lizzie, the prime suspect, went through a trial and was actually acquitted. Fall River folks like to say she got a fair trial, but crime buffs know that the most damning evidence, such as her attempt to purchase prussic acid the day before and her inconsistent statements under interrogation, was never admitted. It's common to find people who believe that Lizzie's defense attorneys outmaneuvered the prosecution and freed a killer. By Katherine Ramsland

THE OLD SPOT HOTEL, GAWLER, SOUTH AUSTRALIA
The above photograph was taken by Scott Pearson, who is a professional photographer.
He admits to being able to "feel" the presence of ghosts.
Scott shared the following story about the above amazingly spooky photo:
"Years ago my brother and his wife and kids moved into a hotel in Gawler, South Australia, a small town north of Adelaide. After carrying out renovations on the building that was built in 1836, strange things started to happen, people started to hear strange things and see the apparition of a small girl and an older man. Being a skeptic I didn't believe it until my brother started to see things as well. All the stories from different people were the same so I got interested, and being a photographer (Weddings etc.) I thought I would have a go at getting something on film. A friend and I stayed in the hotel all night in the section which used to be the Gawler morgue last century before it was turned into a hotel. It was very eerie and I could feel the presence of the spirits or what ever you call them. It was so strong a feeling that it is hard to describe. This photo was taken on 3,200iso speed Kodak TMax film B&W. I also tried inferred film without much success. After developing the film I had a quick look at it and didn't think I had captured anything until a week or so later when I was doing some testing in the dark room and I noticed a negative which looked different than the rest. I made a copy and could not believe it. I then took a copy to every photo expert I could find and they all said it was unexplainable. After the initial carry on about it, we decided to throw them in a draw and forget about it until the local Gawler paper "The Bunyip" contacted me 4 or 5 years later In March 1998."
The photo has been since featured in many newspapers and different Television shows throughout Australia.
5. Hotel Del CoronadoHotel mewah bergaya Victoria ini terletak disebrang pelabuhan San Diego,
California. Hotel ini kerap disambangi tamu-tamu terkenal seperti Thomas
Edison, L. Frank Baum, Charlie Chaplin, Charles Lindbergh, presiden-presiden
Amerika, dan seorang tamu yang tak jelas bernama “Kate Morgan” yang akhirnya

dikarenakan sakit kanker yang dideritanya tetapi banyak yang mengatakan bahwa
Morgan Tewas bunuh diri. Hantu Morgan pun sering muncul dihadapan para tamu
Hotel Del Coronado.
The very haunted Hotel Coronado, located just outside haunted San Diego, has a ghostly tale of unrequited love. Employee's, workers and guests have been puzzled by odd noises, spirited breezes, strange faces and the ghostly figure of a young lady wearing a black lace dress.
Rising from water's edge on the quaint island of Coronado in San Diego , the Hotel del Coronado is considered one of America 's most beautiful beach resorts.
A classic historic hotel, The Del was built in 1888 and designated a National Historic Landmark in 1977. Today, The Del offers travelers contemporary luxury in an enchanting Victorian atmosphere. Add to this, the resort's beachfront location, and it's no wonder USA Today calls The Del "one of the top ten resorts in the world."The Del offers a quintessential Southern California resort experience. For those seeking a romantic retreat, the resort's magical architecture and island setting are perfect. In fact, the Travel Channel rated The Del the number one wedding destination in America . The Del is also a wonderful family vacation destination, featuring abundant recreation, as well as, seasonal teen and children's programs. And, for getting down to business, meeting and incentive planners can work with over 65,000 feet of indoor and outdoor meeting and exhibition space.
The most well-known legend and ghost story told is that of it's ghost Kate Morgan, who checked into the hotel in 1892 to meet her estranged husband.
He never showed up, and days later she was found dead on the beach from a gunshot wound. Some believe her lost lonely spirit still haunts the hotel, and there have been ghostly cold spots, numerous reports of noises, odd breezes in closed rooms and sightings of more then one ghosts.
HOTEL DEL CORONADO GHOST PHOTO FROM LISA MILES
A recent tale tells when President Ford visited, one of his Secret Service agents complained of odd noises. He was staying in Morgan's room.
Room 3502 has since been described as a "classic haunting." Parapsychologists, using scientific methods, has found 37 abnormalities in one day. Honeymooner's and guest love this hotel for it's ambiance and charm. And of course the hauntings.

Stanley Hotel
This haunted hotel inspired Steven King to write "The Shining" while he stayed in room 217, but it is room 418 that reports the most ghostly activity.There is no "red rum" in the haunted Stanley Hotel and Conference Center in the Rockies, but it is the place where Stephen King wrote half of "The Shining". The made-for-TV version of the film was shot at the Stanley, and King fans should book Room 217, which is where he stayed. It seems that strange haunted paranormal things were happening at the Stanley long before King came.
The hotel, which opened in 1909, is supposedly haunted by Flora Stanley, the wife of the owner, who likes to play the piano late at night. Her ghost is said to be very visible and a high profile haunting.
People who have stayed in Room 408 reported hearing children playing and laughing loudly outside their door, when getting up to investigate there weren't any. They also say they have left the room for a few seconds only to return and find the entire room in a dismay. And hand prints of small children on the mirrors.
Another staff member tells us of a guest, A true King fan to the end. He tells of a face, related the staff member, like that of a large dog like creature in the mirror that watched him, and yes he took a paranormal photo of it. Others tell of faucets turing on in the middle of the night, toilets flushing, and personal objects flung across the room by ghostly hands. Ghost Photos happen here all the time they say, especially when it snows.
STANLEY HOTEL GHOST PHOTO FROM GARY JAMISON
If you are a Stephen King fan, request room 217. It was in this room that King, inspired by the Stanley Hotel, wrote half of "The Shining." The ABC miniseries was filmed at the Stanley Hotel as well.
The Stanley Hotel Haunting, the ghosts in the Stanley Hotel aren't evil as in the book. Room 418 seems to have the most ghostly activity reported. In fact, the entire fourth floor of the Stanley Hotel (formerly the servants quarters) is quite active. Often, the sound of children playing in the halls of the Stanley can be heard, even when no children are present.
The Stanleys: The Stanley Hotel's original owners, F.O. and Flora Stanley, are said to haunt the hotel as well. Mr Stanley plays the piano in the music room, and frequents the billards room and the lobby.

Lukisan Elizabeth Bathory Disaat Dirinya Berusia 25Tahun Elizabeth Bathory lahir di Hungaria thn 1560, kurang lebih 100tahun setelah Vlad 'The Impaler' Dracul meninggal.
Kakek buyut Elizabeth Bathory adalah Prince Stephen Bathory yang merupakan salah satu Ksatria yang memimpin pasukan Vlad Darcul ketika dia merebut kembali kekuasaan di Walachia seabad sebelumnya.
Orangtua Elizabeth, Georges dan Anna adalah bangsawan kaya raya dan merupakan salah satu keluarga ningrat paling kaya di Hungaria saat itu.
Keluarga besarnya juga terdiri dari orang2 terpandang. Salah satu sepupunya adalah perdana menteri di Hungaria, seorang lagi adalah Kardinal.
Bahkan pamannya, Stepehen kemudian menjadi Raja Polandia.
Namun keluarga Bathory memiliki 'sisi' lainnya yg lebih 'gelap' selain segala kekayaan dan popularitasnya.
Disebutkan bahwa salah satu pamannya yang lain adalah seorang Satanis dan penganut Paganisme sementara seorang sepupunya yg lain memiliki kelainan jiwa dan gemar melakukan kejahatan sexual.
Thn 1575, di usia 15 tahun Elizabeth menikah dengan Count Ferencz Nadasdy yang 10 thn lebih tua darinya.
Karena suaminya berasal dari ningrat yang lebih rendah, maka Count Ferencz Nadasdy menggunakan nama Bathory dibelakangnya.
Dengan demikian Elizabeth bisa tetap menggunakan nama keluarganya yaitu Bathory dan tidak menjadi Nadasdy. Kedua pasangan tsb kemudian tinggal di Kastil Csejthe, yg merupakan sebuah kastil di atas pegunungan dengan desa Csejhte dilembah dibawahnya.
Suaminya jarang mendampingi Elizabeth karena Count Ferencz lebih sering berada di medan pertempuran melawan Turki Usmani (Ottoman).
Ferencz kemudian menjadi terkenal karena keberaniannya di medan pertempuran, bahkan dianggap sebagai pahlawan di Hungaria dengan julukan 'Black Hero of Hungary'.
Elizabeth yg masih muda tentu senantiasa merasa kesepian karena selalu ditinggal sang suami. Disebutkan dia memiliki kebiasaan mengagumi kecantikan nya dan kemudian memiliki banyak kekasih gelap yg melayaninya selama sang suami tidak berada di tempat.
Elizabeth bahkan pernah melarikan diri bersama kekasih gelapnya namun kemudian kembali lagi dan suaminya memaafkannya.
Tapi hal tsb tidak mengurangi ketagihan Elizabeth akan kepuasan seksual. Disebutkan juga Elizabeth menjadi seorang biseksual dengan melakukan hubungan lesbian dengan bibinya, Countess Klara Bathory
Elizabeth kemudian mulai terpengaruh dengan satanisme yg diajarkan olehsalah seorang pelayan terdekatnya yg bernama Dorothea Szentes yg biasadisebut Dorka.
Karena pengaruh Dorka, Bathory mulai menyenangi kepuasan seksual lewat penyiksaan yg dilakukannya terhadap pelayan2 lainnya yang masih muda. Selain Dorka, Elizabeth dibantu beberapa pelayan terdekatnya yaitu : suster Iloona Joo, pelayan pria Johaness Ujvari dan seorang pelayan wanita bernama Anna Darvula, yang merangkap sebagai kekasih Elizabeth.
Bersama para kru S&M-nya, Elizabeth merubah kastil Csejthe menjadi pusat teror dan penyiksaan seksual.
Para gadis2 muda yg jadi pelayannya disiksa dengan berbagai bentuk penyiksaan seperti diikat, ditelanjangi lalu dicambuk dan juga menggunakan berbagai alat untuk menyakiti bagian2 tubuh tertentu.
Tahun 1600, suaminya Ferencz meninggal dan era teror sesungguhnya dimulai. Memasuki usia 40 tahunan Elizabeth menyadari bahwa kecantikannya mulai memudar.
Kulitnya mulai menunjukan tanda2 penuaan dan keriput yg sebenarnya lumrah di usia tsb. Tapi Elizabeth adalah pemuja kesempurnaan dan kecantikan dan dia akan melakukan apa saja demi mempertahankan kecantikannya.
Suatu saat dengan tidak sengaja seorang pelayaan wanita yg sedang menyisir rambutnya secara tidak sengaja menarik rambut Elizabeth terlalu keras.
Elizabeth yg marah kemudian menampar gadis malang tsb. Darah memancar dari hidung gadis tsb dan mengenai telapak tangan Elizabeth.
Saat itu Elizabeth disebutkan 'menduga dan percaya' bahwa darah gadis muda tsb memancarkan cahaya kemudaan mereka.
Serta merta dia memerintahkan 2 pelayannya , Johannes Ujvari dan Dorka menelanjangi gadis tsb, menarik tangganya keatas bak mandi dan memotong urat nadinya.
Ketika si gadis meninggal kehabisan darah, Elizabeth segera masuk kedalam bak mandi dan berendam dalam kubangan darah.
Dia menemukan apa yg diyakininya sebagai 'Rahasia Awet Muda'. Ketika semua pelayan mudanya sudah mati, Elizabeth mulai merekrut gadis muda di desa sekitarnya untuk menjadi pelayan di Kastilnya.
Nasib mereka semuanya sama, diikat diatas bak mandi kemudian urat nadi mereka dipotong hingga darah mereka menetes habis kedalam bak mandi tsb. Elizabeth seringkali berendam didalam kolam darah sambil menyaksikan gadis yg jadi korbannya sekarat meneteskan darah hingga tewas.
Sesekali Elizabeth bahkan meminum darah para gadis tsb untuk mendapatkan 'INNERBEAUTY'.
Lama kelamaan Elizabeth merasa bahwa darah para gadis desa tsb masih kurang baginya. Demi mendapat darah yg lebih 'berkualitas', Elizabeth kemudian mengincar darah para gadis bangsawan rendahan.
Dia kemudian melakukan banyak penculikan thd gadis2 bangsawan utk dijadikan korbannya. Namun hal tsb justru menjadi bumerang baginya karena hilangnya gadis2 bangsawan dengan cepat mendapatkan perhatian dikalangan bangsawan, orang2 berpengaruh hingga Raja sendiri.
Contoh replika yang menggambarkan kejadian sesungguhnya dalamkamar mandi Elizabeth Bathory.
Tanggal 30 Desember 1610, sepasukan tentara dibawah pimpinan sepupu Elizabeth sendiri, menyerbu Kastil Csejthe di malam hari.
Mereka semua terkejut melihat pemandangan yg mereka temukan di dalam kastil tsb.
Mayat seorang gadis yg pucat kehabisan darah tergeletak diatas meja makan, seorang gadis lagi yg masih hidup namun sekarat ditemukan terikat di tiang dengan kedua urat nadinya disayat hingga meneteskan darah.
Dibagian penjara ditemukan belasan gadis yg sedang ditahan menunggu giliran dibunuh. Kemudian di ruang basement ditemukan lebih dari 50 mayat yg sebagian besar sudah mulai membusuk.
Selama pengadilan atas Elizabeth Bathory di tahun 1611 sekurangnya 650 daftar nama korban2nya didapat berdasarkan laporan dari berbagai pihak.
Mulai dari keluarga2 petani hingga keluarga2 bangsawan. Elizabeth sendiri tidak pernah didatangkan di pengadilan untuk diadili secara langsung.
Hanya ke 4 pelayannya yg diadili dan kemudian dihukum mati. Namun Elizabeth mendapatkan hukumannya juga. Raja Hungaria memerintahkan Elizabeth dikurung dalam kamarnya di Kastil Csejthe selama sisa hidupnya. Para pekerja kemudian dikerahkan untuk menutup semua pintu dan jendela ruang kamar Elizabeth dengan tembok dengan hanya menyisakan lubang kecil yg digunakan untuk memasukan makanan dan minuman sehari2.
Tahun 1614, atau 4 tahun setelah Elizabeth di-isolasi dengan tembok dikamarnya sendiri, seorang penjaga melihat makanan yg disajikan untuk Elizabeth tidak disentuh selama seharian. Penjaga itu kemudian mengintip kedalam dan melihat sang Countess tertelungkup dengan wajah di lantai. Elizabeth Bathory 'The Blood Countess' meninggal di usia54 tahun. Bahkan Vlad Dracul tidak pernah berkubang dalam darah atau meminum darah. Oleh sebab itu julukan 'Vampir' sebenarnya lebih cocok ditujukan kepada Elizabeth Bathory.

Teen Fatal Car Crash/Accident 2 Teenagers dead October 1999
brains of teenagers are different than those of children and adults. New data confirms that this is the case. An article by Jay N. Giedd, MD, of the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), published in the April 2008 issue of the Journal of Adolescent Health describes how brain changes in the adolescent brain impact cognition, emotion and behavior Novelty seeking, sensation seeking and risk taking is the basis for considerable reckless behavior of some adolescents.
I WAS 24 WHEN I GOT MY LEARNERS, 25 WHEN I GOT MY P PLATES AND 26 YRS OLD WHEN I GOT MY FULL LICENSE IT DIDN'T HURT ME TO WAIT
I RODE PUSHBIKE, I WALKED, I CAUGHT PUBLIC TRANSPORT
THINK ABOUT IT
IMHO TEENAGERS SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING
The following information is from the Transport SA website READ IT
The number of young drivers killed or seriously injured in road crashes is a serious problem in all states of Australia. Young people aged 16 to 25 make up 13% of Australia's population but account for nearly 25% of road deaths.
Young drivers exhibit certain attributes that contribute to their higher risk of road crashes. These include:
* Lack of experience
* Risk taking behaviour
* The use of older vehicles with less safety features
* Speeding
* Peer pressure
Findings
* Young drivers aged 16 to 20 had the highest rate of all age groups at 150 casualties per 100,000 population (3 to 4 times higher than some)
* Drivers aged 21 to 25 had the second highest rate at 119 casualties per 100,000 population.
On average between 1999-2003, for drivers in the 16-25 year age group who were killed or seriously injured:
* 38% of drivers who were killed had a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) of .05 or above and 23% of drivers seriously injured recorded a BAC of .05 or above
* 13% were not wearing a seat belt
* 54% occurred on Friday, Saturday or Sunday
* 24% occurred between 4-5pm, 6-8pm or 12-1am
* 53% were on country roads and 42% on roads signposted as 100km/h or 110km/h
* 63% were male.
What types of cars were involved?
Australian research found:
* Young drivers often drive older, cheaper vehicles that are likely to have fewer safety features than newer vehicles
* most young drivers involved in fatal crashes were driving fairly ordinary cars
* very few were driving high performance vehicles.
Night driving
Young drivers are more likely to drive at night and on weekends than older drivers.
* 55% of young drivers aged 16-25 are killed or seriously injured in crashes that occur during the night compared with 37% of other drivers
* Nearly 40% of young driver serious casualties occurred on the weekend, compared with 30% for other drivers.
Driving at night has unique hazards and requires more developed skills. All drivers have an elevated crash risk at night. This is greater for younger drivers because of lack of experience and higher involvement in risk taking.
Driver fatigue may be a factor in up to 30% of fatal crashes and up to 15% of serious injury crashes.
Being tired while driving does not just concern anyone driving a long distance. It can affect shift-workers, parents/carers of young children who haven't had much sleep and also those with sleep problems. It is as much a problem for city as country drivers.
Researchers have found:
* driving after being awake for 17 hours brings a similar crash risk to a blood alcohol level of 0.05
* driving after 24 hours without sleep corresponds to a blood alcohol level of 0.10.
Three main causes of fatigue are:
* lack of sleep
* driving when you would normally be asleep * engaging in long, stressful or repetitive tasks before or during driving.
How can I avoid driver fatigue?
* Planning before you drive is the key to avoiding fatigue. Drivers and those who travel with them should:
* have sufficient sleep before a trip
* allow for regular breaks during long periods of driving, eg 15 minutes every two hours
* if possible, share the driving with someone else.
What do I need to look out for?
Often drivers do not realise they are becoming fatigued, but passengers can help them recognise it.
Watch for:
* impatience, lack of concentration or slow reaction times
* sweaty hands, hunger, thirst, stiffness or cramp
* wandering over the centre-line or road edge
* changes in driving speeds; or poor gear changes
* signs you are feeling drowsy, such as yawning
* sore, heavy eyes and blurred or dim vision
* droning or humming in the ears.
Heavy vehicle drivers
Fatigue is an important health and safety issue for heavy vehicle drivers. An Australian survey in 2000 found that 45% of long distance heavy vehicle drivers had experienced fatigue during their last trip.
