Over the last 30 years driver rehabilitation programmes for traffic violators have continuously become a more established measure aiming at the reintegration of high risk drivers in the traffic system again. The objective of the Andrea-project is the analysis of driver rehabilitation programmes to answer if these courses are effective and especially what in detail makes the courses effective. The Andrea-project is a follow-up of the EU-project 'DAN' – Description and Analysis of post licensing measures for Novice drivers. In the DAN-project driver rehabilitation courses were generally recommended for novice traffic offenders. In contrast to the DAN-project in the Andrea study not only measures for novice but also experienced drivers are subject of interest and the analysis of these programmes also concentrates on the effectiveness of single elements.
