ABSTRACT
Does world driver training need to include intensive training against the instinctive human instinctive reactions that contribute to crashes? Twenty years of variable research (post-licence driver education) reveals common and instinctive human behavioural patterns that contribute significantly to the end severity of, and actual involvement in, motor vehicle crashes. It is not immediately apparent if this form of research has been conducted previously worldwide. Certainly in the Australasian region, it seems apparent that the human instinctive reaction equation is not currently factored in to driver education when drivers acquire their initial licence.
