Dr. Ron Christie, in his article ‘the effectiveness of driver training as a road safety measure,' provides a summary of the effectiveness of driver training programs, talks of pre-license programs for specialized driver training in the field. The program intends to develop and nurture safe driving techniques on both off-road tracks or roads. He suggests that the training impacts basic car controls and road law knowledge skills, which has little on casualty crushes. He points out considerable evidence that affects advanced learners' skills, including skid controls. He attributes this to increased car crushes to increased car crashes among young males. He generally considers that there is no significant between drivers trained off-road and those trained on the road when comparing the cases of crashes (Ron 2009).

Dr. Ron suggests that real-world experience during the learning time has proved significant, reducing crashes by about 35%. In comparison with the crashes relating to those trained professionally and those trained by their relation. He points out the best training system being on the road. Learner drivers on the road have a low risk of crash involvement. He cites experience on the way as a contributor to reduced crashes. Evidence shown is that advanced driving courses reduced car crash rates. He points great experience saying that they had a low crash rate per distance covered

Finally, the article further suggests that driving training does not seem to reduce accidents effectively. He argues that promoting driver training does not consider other deficiencies in skills. He also suggests that these skill deficiencies were much responsible for the increased risk. He points out to young drivers making mistakes that had nothing to do with their skills or experience but pointing out on psychological factors. Overall, his research more current driver training contributes little to accident reduction. Improving skills does not always impact on-road behavior
