The status of knowledge regarding youth and traffic safety education is reviewed and possible reasons for the high death rate discussed; the high involvement of alcohol is shown. The presently unknown safety value of current programs of instruction is noted. The need for instruction of youth and for adult supervision and monitoring of new young drivers for extended periods after licensing is discussed. The central role of the driver licensing function is examined and the potential role of driver improvement programs. The relevant activities of NHTSA are reviewed and the need for integrated efforts focused on young drivers emphasized. (Author)
