University’s Texas Transportation Institute (TTI) have developed a program under the direction of Dr. Myron Koehler to help these bad drivers stay alive long enough to be come good old drivers. Dr. Mark Edwards, principal in vestigator for TTI’s project to evaluate the effects of this program, is in the process of analyzing the driving histories of 2,000 Texas problem drivers who have or will take the course. This evaluation is being funded by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administra tion so that the course can be adopted by other states, if proven effective. “It’s generally accepted that driv ers under 25 have more crashes and more citations and, as a result, are more dangerous than other age groups,” Edwards said. “They are over-represented in both fatal and property damage accidents. “The behavior of these young sters in the auto and on the highway is part of their more general be havior. Several studies have shown that those with repeated accidents were more involved with cars, drove more miles, were more aware of social pressures and tensions, and were more likely to use driving as an outlet for such tensions.” As part of the concept, after four or more such incidents that result in a ticket, the Department of Public Safety (DPS) will petition the local Justice of Peace Court to suspend the license of the violator. The J.P. can, as an alternative, send the of fender to the A&M-developed train ing program, which is being con ducted by the DPS in the seven Texas ein.
