Abstract

In 1999, VicRoads commissioned ARRB Transport Research Ltd (ARRB TR) to develop and carry out a survey of novice drivers to obtain information about the amount and variety of supervised driving experience accumulated by learner drivers in Victoria prior to obtaining a probationary licence. VicRoads commissioned Research International to repeat the surveys of learner permit holders and newly licensed drivers in 2000. Apart from a minor difference in sample stratification, the surveys conducted in 2000 were in all other respects identical to those that had been conducted in 1999. In 2001, ARRB TR was commissioned by VicRoads to compare the results of the 1999 and 2000 surveys; document any changes in amount and type of learner driver experience between the two surveys; and document changes in factors addressed by the surveys that may influence the accumulation of driving experience by learner permit holders. This conference paper summarises the methods used and the major findings of the comparison. (Author/publisher) For the covering entry of this conference, please see ITRD abstract no. E209619.
