The inability of driver education to yield the expected reductions in accidents among novice drivers may say more about expectation than accomplishment. Just what can we expect from a basic driver education course? Clearly it is more than it has furnished. Changes that can be introduced to improve the ability of driver education graduates to meet the challenges of road and traffic include better use of resources outside the school to furnish the guided practice needed to achieve minimally acceptable levels of proficiency, exploiting new technology to bring weeks and miles of driving experience into the classroom and self-instruction, sharper focus upon the elements of driving most critical to safety, formulation of and adherence to standards of performance, and a wider range of systems for delivery of instruction. |
