The origins of and influences on, the patterns of attitude and behaviour identified in earlier research with young drivers aged 17 to 25 were investigated in a series of workshops with young pre-drivers and learners, aged 13 to 20, parents and approved driving instructors (ADIs). While recognising there is no typical 'young person' or 'young person's experience', key themes emerge from the analysis of the workshop findings, both in terms of commonality and key dimensions of difference. These points have been illustrated by quotations from the participants. The workshops focused in particular on understanding young pre-drivers' and learners' definitions of good driving and their expectations and/or experiences of the learning process. The research builds on the previous research, and looks at varying and similar perceptions within different areas including good driving, good learners, good learning and better drivers. Within these sections, cognitive, psychological, social, motor, physiological and physical issues are addressed.
