Compared to experienced drivers, recently licensed drivers generally are less able to divide attention, scan the environment effectively, detect potential hazards early, and make tough decisions quickly. They perceive less risk in specific violations and high-risk situations but more risk in some low-risk situations. The safety mission of driver education has been to help novice drivers perform as safely as they will when they become more mature and experienced. How to achieve this raises issues of structure, method, and content. Graduated licensing suggests an opportunity to extend and stage the learning process. |
