A REVIEW OF DRIVER/RIDER LICENSING IN RELATION TO ROAD SAFETY

A review is presented of procedures for granting licences to operate motor vehicles under the main headings of age, competence and fitness. The conditions under which a licence may be granted are considered in relation to the road accident situation, and the possible contribution of modified licensing procedures to the reduction of road accidents is evaluated. The final section of the report relates the information extracted from published reports to the licensing procedures in force in the states and territories of Australia. /TRRL/
