Abstract
The Traffic Safety Planning and Research Department has chosen "young driver" as a major focus for the 1985 research agenda. The aim, essentially, was to gather data about social, cultural and existential variables that influence young drivers in British Columbia. In- depth interviews with young drivers who were involved in injury- producing car crashes, group interviews with grade ten, eleven and twelve students in secondary schools, interviews with driving instructors, parents etc. were held. This document addresses only the methodology and findings of the senior secondary school survey.
