Abstract
Within the last century, the manner in which man has traveled from one place to another has changed greatly. The driving task and the number of vehicles used in the driving environment has become increasingly more complex with each passing year. Methods used to evaluate one of the countermeasures to reduce traffic accidents, driver education programs, have grown proportionally. The four objectives for this investigation were as follows: 1. To determine if students who have been exposed to a competency based driver education program have a significantly better overall driving record than those students who participated in a four-phase driver education program. 2. To determine if driver sex has a significant relationship to overall driving performance, based on driving records after completion of either programs. 3. To compare the driving performance based on the number of moving violations of the students who have completed either program. 4. To determine which one of the two aforementioned driver education programs produce students with a better driving record, as far as chargeable accidents are concerned.
