Abstract:

In April 1997, the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) implemented rules, based on legislation passed in 1995, for parent- or guardian-taught novice driver training that meets all the driver training requirements necessary for licensing teens 16 to 18 years old. As currently constituted, the parent-taught driver education program in Texas essentially grants parents the same role, rights, privileges, and responsibilities as were formerly granted only to Statelicensed and approved novice driver instructors and driver education programs. NHTSA sponsored a study by the Texas Transportation Institute (TTI) to evaluate the parent-taught driver education (PTDE) option in Texas. The primary goal was to determine the impact, if any, the PTDE had on the education and training of young novice drivers and on the safety of novice drivers on Texas streets and highways. TTI conducted this evaluation using three different research techniques: (1) focus groups with driver education instructors, teen drivers, and their parents; (2) a statewide mail survey of young drivers; and (3) an analysis of Texas driver records, including a comparison of driver records both before and after implementation of the graduated driver licensing (GDL) in program in Texas in 2002.
