✦ Synopsis

Written manuals and tests dealing with safe driving practices were designed for licence applicants in three categories: New Drivers, Renewals and Older Drivers. Contents were based upon an analysis of the critical information requirements of each group. The manuals and tests were evaluated in an experiment involving over 30,00t? license applicants. Among New Drivers. the treatment group had significantly fewer accidents than a control group administered the regular driver's manual. Among Renewals, the treatment group had significantly fewer accidents with convictions than a control group not required to take a test. No consistent effects were found for Older Drivers. It was concluded that welI-designed manuals and tests are a cost-effective accident countermeasure.
