This paper discusses the value of existing driver training and education programmes and concludes that further research is required in order to find ways of motivating drivers to drive safely. Methods used in developing safety measures, based on scientific investigation of crashes, are described and measures such as seat belts shown as of especial value. In comparison with the trend in vehicle occupant deaths before seat belt wearing was made compulsory (in 1971) New South Wales saved about $110 Million in economic terms as well as 400 lives in the single year 1980. It is suggested that professional driving instructors should set examples to their ;upils and should teach them (1) Never drink-drive (2) Always be properly protected (by belt or helmet) (3) Never exceed speed limits (4) Never show off driving skills (5) Never drive when depressed, worried or tired, and (6) Never undertake long tiring trips.
