driver education effectiveness

Outcome evaluation of whether formal driver education works: studies measuring whether pre-license courses, behind-the-wheel instruction, or driver-ed programs reduce later crashes, violations, or risky behavior. The focus is the safety result and the evidence for or against it, not the lesson content. Distinct from novice_curricula, which describes how programs are designed and what they teach rather than testing their effect, and from hazard_perception_training, which evaluates one specific skill module.
