Abstract

This research evaluated the potential effectiveness of a multistage driver education program for novice drivers. This was done by comparing the safety experience of two groups of teenage drivers, one of which received additional instruction in a defensive driving workshop and another that did not. The statistical finding that the trained group recorded fewer citations does suggest some potential safety benefits for the supplemental driver-training course evaluated in this study. However, it remains unclear as to whether the training resulted in an immediate safety benefit.
