Proposal for driving instruction in three stages to acquire a B-category driving licence.

This thesis includes a proposal for a three-staged driver training system for those acquiring a category B driving licence. The basis for the three-staged driver training model and a basis for the classification of the curriculum content is a five-level theoretical model where the driver and driving are studied from the perspectives of vehicle handling, traffic situation handling, driving objectives, personal preconditions and social environment. These five perspectives create the overall entity that guides a driver’s actions and coping in traffic. In addition to the actual curriculum, this thesis includes central instruction and learning principles and provides examples on methods suitable for driver training. (Author/publisher)
