The highway transportation system offers significant benefits in the form of mobility and accessibility. An undesirable by-product of mobility is road crashes and the attendant loss of life, injury, and property damage. A principal challenge facing the safety system is maximizing the benefits offered by transportation, while minimizing its disbenefits. This balancing act is never more evident than in the case of novice drivers whose risk of suffering the disbenefits of the system are much greater than most other groups. Historically, and even today, the major initiatives used to ensure that novices are insulated from the risks associated with driving have been formal driver education/training and driver licensing. The objectives of both these programs are very similar in that they attempt to ensure the novice has the skills, knowledge, and attitude to drive safely and collision-free. Unfortunately, young drivers continue to be over represented in road crashes and the absolute magnitude of the problem will almost certainly increase because impending demographic changes will produce a dramatic rise in the number of young drivers. Recognition of these facts has underscored the need for improving driver education/training and licensing programs.
