Abstract

In 1978, a project team was set up at the Federal Highway Research Institute (BASt) to survey Driver Improvement Programs and evaluate their success. Present efforts in the Federal Republic of Germany towards a more systematic linkage between road safety education, driver training and examination, safety training and driver improvement programs and their intregration into the existing legal, administrative and organizational framework appear to be more promising road safety efforts in the medium term than demands for radical changes in the legislation relating to the punishment of drivers or the search for alternatives to licence suspension or revocation. Driver improvement programs can already be considered as making an important and irreplaceable contribution to the road safety work in the Federal Republic of Germany. They can however not be a substitution for legal sanctions and measures. Driver improvement programs will be effective only as a functioning part of overall system of measures providing information, support and feedback.
