Abstract
Novice car drivers are a group of very high risk for severe accidents.
They also are a group, whose risks seem to be very difficult to reduce. This
paper describes a unique field trial on a feedback system that has a potential
of great safety benefits for novice drivers. With a GPS installed in the
novice drivers’ car, we periodically produced feedback that motivated the
novice in safe driving and helped them comparing their driving with others.
There are clear indications, that a well prepared feedback helps the novice
drivers in paying attention to the shortcomings of the inexperienced drivers.
And the feedback seems to affect the driving style, especially if there is
also some external person receiving the feedback. The test users of the
feedback, novice drivers and their parents have been interested in the
feedback and see it as a potential measure in enhancing learning and improving
traffic safety.
