Abstract

Time trends in age and sex specific mortality and morbidity rates from traffic accidents have shown a greater increase of these rates for the 15-19 year old group particularly in one Canadian province. This one is the one who developed an extensive driving education program at the secondary level, having implemented it to all high schools. The evidence supports the contention that extended driving instruction in high schools has failed to reduce mortality and morbidity of the 15-19 year old.
