content name:	Young novice drivers, driver education and training. Literature review
	A great many people are killed or seriously injured in road traffic every year, which constitutes a major public health problem. Considering the rapid progress being made in developing different road safety measures, new knowledge must be spread more quickly and be put into application, first and foremost by system designers, but also by others in positions of responsibility within the road safety sector. One fast and cost-effective means of finding out where research stands today is to systematically review, analyse and make a compilation of the scientific literature published in the field. Therefore, VTI and the University of Turku has carried out this literature review about young novice drivers, driver education and training on commission from the Swedish National Road Administration with additional funding from the Swedish Agency for Innovation Systems (VINNOVA). The review was carried out from January to April 2003. The area of this literature review is young, novice drivers, driver education and training. To cover this field there were four aims in accordance with the commission from the Swedish National Road Administration. The aims were to review literature concerning: 1. driving behaviour and accident involvement during the first years with a licence, including the underlying psychological and social processes as well as in-vehicle support systems and their implication for young, novice drivers 2. methods and incentives used to influence young drivers' attitudes and behaviour, with special attention to alcohol, seat belt use and speeding 3. the impact of high school driver education on young novice drivers safety 4. the impact of different licensing systems on young novice drivers safety.
