A literature review and accident data analyses were conducted to examine the relationship between vehicle familiarity and safety. The information from these diverse sources was consistent in suggesting that drivers of passenger cars and motorcycles are having safety problems adjusting to unfamiliar vehicles. This problem was not caused by low total driver experience but by inexperience with the accident-involved vehicle. Estimates were made of the extent of this problem and recommendations were suggested to better understand the causes of the problem and identify possible countermeasures.
