Abstract

This paper presents recent data showing the extremely high accident rate of novices, one that drops by two-thirds in the first months of driving. This focuses the need for instruction on the period right after licensing, when beginner errors expose novices to risk. The challenge is to overcome the mistakes through instruction that is more informative and motivating than that which has prevailed in the past.
