Research on driver behaviour since the 1980s has demonstrated that driver characteristics, goals and motivations are important determinants of driving behaviour. We are now in a position to apply this knowledge to driver training programmes and evaluate their effectiveness in improving safety. The main objective for the First International Conference on Driver Behaviour and Training - and this book - is to describe and discuss advances in this field. The book bridges the gap between practitioners in road safety and theoreticians investigating driving behaviour from a number of different perspectives and related disciplines. It encourages research in driver training to combat erroneous or deviant driving behaviour and/or reduce the effects of human error at source.
