Abstract:

Currently, South Dakota ranks 47th in per capita deaths associated with young driver crashes, of all states in the nation. This research was done to evaluate the current status and effectiveness of driver education and licensing programs generally, and, where possible, in South Dakota specifically. The research evaluated best practices from American states in the areas of driver education and licensing. The research also analyzed original survey data, South Dakota driver history data and national crash statistics to further assess the effectiveness of these programs in the State. Findings show support for a relationship between driver education, graduated driver licensing and young driver safety. Specifically, a significant and negative correlation was observed between young driver per capita crash rates and state regulation of driver education and licensing programs, where crash rates increased as state requirements decreased. Means tests conducted for the research corroborate these findings, offering further evidence of a significant difference in the driving histories of young drivers who had a record of completing driver education course work and those without such records. The research identified national driver education best practices. Recommendations include statewide implementation of standardized driver education course curriculum, establishment of measures to monitor student, instructor and course performance, as well as implementation of a rigorous performance evaluation program designed to facilitate the scientific administration of all young driver safety programs in the State.
