abstract="Novice drivers are in danger. This insight is neither new nor surprising. However, whatever measures have been taken to solve this problem, crash rates among inexperienced drivers are still alarmingly high. One major contributing factor is the novices' age, with all the problems that go along with being young  and trying to find one's place in the world. Yet, there is also the lack of skills that has a tremendous influence on accident involvement of younger drivers. Conventional forms of driver training have largely failed to build up some skills that go beyond a rather descriptive knowledge of how to drive. Computer based trainings are supposed to provide new ways of dealing with this issue. This paper reviews some of the applications available and reports on an effort to develop such a computer based training tool within a German context.<p />",
