DRIVERS IN FATAL CRASHES WITH AND WITHOUT DRIVER TRAINING

The approach taken in this study was to compare the fatal crash involvements of drivers with training to the fatal involvements of those drivers without training, while controlling (to the extent possible) for certain driver, vehicle, roadway and selected exposure parameters (e.g., time of day). The data used in this analysis were taken from the Fatal Accident Files (FAF) as maintained by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) for the Jan., 1973 - June, 1974 time frame.
