| 摘要： | This paper addresses the following question: How should driver education be structured to cope with adolescent lifestyle influences on driving, in particular, risk-taking tendencies, personality factors that relate to unsafe driving, and peer group influences that increase driving risk? Or, to rephrase the question, can driver education be structured to overcome these influences? Dealing with lifestyle influences is a real challenge for driver education, especially where licensing is allowed at a very young age, as in the United States. There is good evidence that driver education courses with sufficient on-road practice can be a superior way to learn driving skills. However, teaching and motivating young people to apply safe driving practices hasn't worked very well. The challenge for driver education in coping with lifestyle factors is probably best addressed by taking advantage of the trend toward graduated licensing, a system designed to phase in driving privileges. This provides more of a chance to address safe driving practices, once people already have learned basic driving skills and are also a little older. Research will be needed to confirm that this approach can work. Other ways that have been suggested to affect lifestyle factors/motivation to drive safely are to structure graduated licensing systems so that they encourage young people to apply safe driving practices in order to graduate, e.g., through having to have a clean record to graduate, or to provide demanding exit tests. |
