Samenvatting
It is well known that teenage riders and drivers are at exceptionally high risk on the road. In recent years, in Britain, attempts have been made to counter the problems faced by training- oriented programmes, by developing materials and methods aimed at improving the decision- making aspects of driving other than those related to control skills. The aim of this course is to reduce rather than increase exposure to risk, to improve understanding of potential risk situations and to help evolve responsible informed ideas about how such situations might be avoided. This paper will deal with the background, development and subsequent dissemination of this programme in schools and colleges in Britain.
