Conference Background



The "New to the Road" Symposium, held in 1996 at the University of California at Los Angeles, identified several key gaps in our knowledge about the behaviour of young/novice drivers and driver education. Topics of particular interest include:

  • New approaches to novice driver education
  • New approaches to driver testing
  • Update on the effectiveness of graduated licensing initiatives worldwide
  • Young driver mobility needs
  • Risk-taking behaviours by young drivers
  • Role of age-related and experience-related factors in collision involvement

This internet conference on young and novice driver issues is the most cost-effective method of obtaining the information necessary to address these knowledge gaps.

This web site provides ample opportunity to exchange ideas with colleagues, including interactive discussion forums. It is just like attending a regular conference — but you will avoid the expense of airline flights, hotels and time away from home and office. In other words, your participation costs are virtually zero.

We encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity and help make the NoviceForum Conference a global success!
