Probationary Driver Statistics
|
Learner drivers under supervision have a low risk of crashing.
In contrast, the first 6 to 12 months of driving on a probationary licence is the most dangerous.
New drivers lack a number of critical traffic skills. These include the ability to observe and make sense of the road and traffic environment, to anticipate emerging hazards and recognize danger, and to make accurate assessments and decisions quickly to avoid hazards.
New drivers often cannot cope with the high level of information to be processed, or with increases in the complexity of the driving task. They often do not judge, anticipate, and compensate for hazardous conditions and what other road users are doing.
