Aanbevelingen voor een keuze tussen verschillende vormen van een voorlopig rijbewijs aan de hand van een analyse van de verkeersonveiligheid van jonge automobilisten en van een literatuurstudie over het voorlopig rijbewijs.

An analysis of the traffic safety of young car drivers and a literature review of provisional driving licence recommendations are given in order to select those types of provisional licence used in other countries which could be introduced in the Netherlands. From now on the car driver in the Netherlands has to be at least 18 years old and should have passed the theoretical and practical driving test. In other countries a provisional driving licence is given first, on which limitations are set. The definitive licence is given some years afterwards. In the Netherlands the introduction of a provisional driving licence is now being considered, because the number of accidents caused by young, recently qualified drivers, is relatively high. Young drivers could be forbidden to drive at night on weekends for instance, driving courses could be given as a supplement after one or two years experience, a point demerit system could be introduced and modifications in driving attitudes could be taught, and a lower insurance premium could be considered as a reward for compliance.
