How can we train safe driving ? Rede uitgesproken bij de aanvaarding van het ambt van Bijzonder Hoogleraar in de Verkeerskunde vanwege de Nederlandse Vereniging van Wegenbouwers aan de Rijksuniversiteit Groningen op dinsdag 24 oktober 1989.

On the occasion of his inauguration as professor at the State University of Groningen the author has presented a lecture with the aim to convince the society that transport systems provide a tremendously valuable source of interesting and important problems for psychologists and other behavioral scientists, at the level of both theory and application. Behavioral scientists have a broad range of theories and methods that are essential for understanding and improving transport system safety. This is attempted to do by taking the example of driver training.
