Young Drivers and Road Safety

Mladi vozaci i sigurnost cestovnog prometa

According to The Law of Road Traffic Safety, young drivers are defined as a special group of drivers to whom specifically provided restrictions apply. This paper examines the specified group of drivers from historical aspect and gives an overview of definitions of the group of young drivers through the Croatian regulations that also define road traffic safety. The issue of young drivers has been mapped through eligibility for taking driving tests, acquisition of necessary knowledge and skills, responding to traffic situations, and finally the participation of this specified group of drivers in traffic issues. An initial quantitative research was conducted in year 2011, under the topic of young drivers, entitled “Recognition of traffic rules and regulations of young drivers in road safety” in the Police Academy, Zagreb, 1. Avenue G.Suska. Based on such major issues of young drivers in road traffic safety and the completion of initial studies the authors have suggested possible solutions to the problems of young drivers in road traffic safety.
