Driving is a skill acquired through instruction, feedback and practice, but with driving the feedback relied upon to shape behaviour is erratic and unreliable. This paper reflects upon the central issues in accident involvement among drivers, particularly those which relate to when, where, how and by whom the vehicle is driven. The quality of information on each of these might be greatly enhanced if data available from current vehicle electronics were used to routinely store information regarding vehicle handling, position and time, and might form the basis of a system which can usefully enhance drivers' learning.
