About
In the ACT, drivers with a provisional license are disproportionately represented in crashes, especially fatality crashes. The goal of this project is to investigate multiple potential cognitive predictors of crash risk in provisional drivers. The cognitive predictors tested include those selected from a functional understanding of the demands of driving as well as measures that have already been found to predict crash risk in more experienced drivers. It is anticipated that this project will identify cognitive factors that will then lead to novel training programs to improve road safety outcomes for provisional drivers.
