Produktbeschreibung

Traffic injuries are the leading cause of death globally among 15 to 19 year-olds. However, individuals charged with trying to solve the complex problem of teen and novice drivers are typically not in positions where they can spend the hundreds of hours gathering the information they need in order to make informed decisions about how best to move forward in research, licensing, insurance, regulation or public policy. This handbook serves as the go-to-source for a range of potential readers.
