About the session
A presentation of the findings from a randomised control trial, which tested different simple and low cost interventions to encourage learners to gain more on road experience before taking their test, which can potentially reduce their risk of being involved in a collision once they pass their test. New drivers (or novices) have higher accident rates compared to other drivers, hence they are an important group to consider in road safety interventions. Evidence suggests that limited driving experience as a learner before taking the practical driving test is a key contributory factor to novice drivers’ heightened risk.
