How can we know that?Gbw is right about how well drivers ed has worked though. When I was in high school I had 5 friends die in car wrecks. And they were all seperate incidents. All were avoidable if properly educated.
One of the problems is that much of the behavior relating to accidents is in the Affective realm (related to feelings, attitudes and values), while driver education is heavily concentrated in the Cognitive (logic) and Psycho-Motor (physical skills) realms.
So what did they do that caused the accidents? And how was that related to lack of skills and knowledge?
