Description
Book SynopsisThis volume is an outcome of the sixth International Conference in Driver Behaviour and Training. It focuses on how driver training must adapt to take into account individual differences in order to raise awareness of how these differences may contribute to unsafe driving behaviour.
Trade Review'This volume demonstrates the astonishing scale of the amount of work that is being done all over the world in the field of driver behaviour and training. Each contribution has something of interest for specialists in the field. Moreover, the editors have stamped their mark in what could have been an unwieldy collection of papers, giving a cohesive structure throughout.'
