Does Driving Experience Delay Overload Threshold as a Function of Situation Complexity?

Epidemiological studies show that young novice drivers have a risk of crash involvement two to four times higher than young experienced drivers (Triggs, 2004). Crash rates, which are very high in the first months, decrease rapidly after a few months experience (Mayhew, Simpson and Pak, 2003) and a few kilometres of driving (McKnight, 2006; Preusser, 2006; cited in Mayhew, 2007), and continue to decrease as driving experience increases (Williams, 2003).
