YOUNG NOVICE DRIVERS: TOWARDS A MODEL OF THEIR ACCIDENT INVOLVEMENT

There are two main purposes of this article. The first is to present a model of young drivers' accident involvement, including the most important processes in the development of their driving behavior. The model describes the relations between the learning process, the individual preconditions and the social influence and how these are related to driving behavior and accident involvement through different processes such as skill acquisition, self assessment, information processing, feedback and motivation. The second purpose is to present a state-of-the-art report for the different aspects of the model by referring to some of the literature on young drivers.
