Abstract

Too many leading educators, through ignorance, misinformation, or inertia, consider driver education a frill and would like to see it dropped completely. Evidence shows that youths trained in driving education programs while in high school have 40 to 66% fewer violations and accidents than similar groups not so trained. Now is the time for the physician to become a real crusader for one of the most important of our school subjects—driver education—that is, if it is believed that education should be preparation for living.
