Driver rehabilitation courses for the reintegration of traffic violators are a growing market in many European Union (EU) states. It was the objective of the ‘Andrea’ project to analyse which elements of these courses are more or less effective. Evaluation studies have been analysed, all course programmes described, expert workshops were held and a feedback analysis, including data from 1,375 participants and 60 course trainers, has been conducted in France, Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands and northern Italy. Results of this study give an insight into the course programmes (methods, contents and client–trainer relationship). The feedback generally is rather positive. The majority of clients believe that the course programme was useful for them to avoid further offences, which is in correspondence with the significant reduction of recidivism rates of participants compared to control groups found in the literature analysis.
