As a part of the administrative adjudication of traffic violations in the State of Rhode Island, two types of driver retraining programs were conducted for motorists who had charges sustained at hearings and were referred for retraining by the Hearing Commissioners. There were: (1) a General Education Session consisting of a single two-hour didactic presentation and (2) the Defensive Driving Course developed by the National Safety Council. Evaluation of the courses showed that both produced measurable increases in knowledge among the students. On the other hand, examination of the subsequent driving records of those assigned to the courses and a group of drivers assigned at random to untreated control groups, failed to yield any evidence that the courses were effective in reducing traffic violations and accidents.
