The last phase of the NHTSA-U.S. Coast Guard Driver Improvement Training and Evaluation Project is described. Begun in July 1970, the project had two basic objectives. The first was to determine whether or not driver training programs do, in fact, significantly reduce driver errors and accidents and improve overall driver efficiency. The second was to identify which training method--classroom and driving range training (Program I), classroom-only training (Program II), or range-only training (Program III)--is most effective. The population studied was young male adults between 17 and 25 years of age. The specific sample studied was United States Coast Guard recruits at the Coast Guard Training Center in Cape May, New Jersey. A follow-up analysis of post-training driving records was also conducted.
