1. Evaluating the Safety Implications & Research Potential of “Green Box” for Young Drivers Driving Assessment, June 2005 Dr. Tsippy Lotan, Or Yarok, Israel Dr. Tomer Toledo, Technion, Israel

2. 4 major projects: Enforcement through volunteers Young Drivers (Green Light for Life) Public Motivation The Ran Naor Research Foundation OR YAROK = Green Light

3. How do we get a driver’s license in Israel? Age 16.5 ---- Theoretical test Theoretical test At least 28 driving lessons by professional instructors At least 28 driving lessons by professional instructors Driving test Driving test At the age of 17 a driver license can be obtained At the age of 17 a driver license can be obtained Followed by a 3 months phase of accompanied driving Followed by a 3 months phase of accompanied driving

4. Green Light for Life Rate of involvement in car crashes by age Numbers per 10,000 driver (2003) The Problem… Rate of severe accidents Rate of fatal accidents Up to 18Total

5. Green Light for Life FREE

6. Accompanying research focus groups questionnaires surveys What people choose to say --- feedback forms

7. What people do -- monitor drivers’ behavior monitor drivers’ behavior establish the relation between drivers’ driving profile and safety establish the relation between drivers’ driving profile and safety establish change in drivers’ behavior establish change in drivers’ behavior
