Cohort II: a study of learner and new drivers: volume 1: main report
'Cohort II' was a major six-year study, funded by the Department for Transport, providing an up-to-date picture of how 'cohorts' of learner drivers in Great Britain undertake driver training and testing, and of their subsequent experiences as new drivers. It builds upon and further develops the evidence base from the smaller Cohort I study in 1988-89. The aims of the study were: 1. to investigate how people learn to drive, including the number of hours of tuition and practice, and to compare this to outcomes from the theory and practical driving tests; 2. to assess the impact of changes to the testing regime, specifically the hazard perception test which was introduced during the period of study; 3. to explore new drivers' experiences and attitudes to driving; and 4. to identify their level of accident involvement over time.
