abstract="The driver population is rapidly increasing in China and crash rates are expected to rise dramatically without effective preventative measures. The objective of this research was to develop a driver education and training program for China adapted from best practice. Based on review of the current system and stakeholder interviews, a program was developed to provide driving lessons in real-world traffic for newly-licensed drivers with a supporting educational manual. The present study aim was to evaluate whether the program could be successfully implemented with 64 pilot study participants. Post- training interviews and spot checks found the majority of participants received the program as intended, with early discrepancies readily overcome. Seventy-nine per cent completed additional recommended but not mandatory components and 100% reported benefiting from participation. It was concluded that the program was appropriate and acceptable. Further research will determine whether the program can help reduce novice driver road trauma in China.<p />",
