| Abstract | In North America the term driver education has usually been applied to programs for beginning drivers consisting of both "theory" instruction in the classroom and practical training in a vehicle. Traditional programs have taken place in a single stage, before the driver becomes licensed. Indeed, one principal purpose of driver education is to prepare beginners for license testing. In many jurisdictions, but by no means all, most beginner drivers receive some instruction from a paid professional instructor (Maycock and Forsyth 1997). Driver education was widely available in public secondary schools in North America for many years. After the early 1980s, availability has declined in most jurisdictions. This was especially the case in the United States, where high school driver education had been pervasive through the 1970s. In Canada, driver education has always been more diverse. High school driver education has remained strong in some provinces, never existed in others, and has declined in still others in a manner similar to the United States. |
