\n1Department of Engineering, Utah Valley University, Orem, Utah, USA  \nAbstract:  \nBackground:  \nAn acceptable level of knowledge of traffic rules is needed for any driver to drive on public roads. This knowledge is typically acquired at a younger age during the process of attaining a driver's license.  \nAim:  \nThe purpose of this study is to investigate the level of knowledge among young drivers and how it could be improved. The study also explores the relationships between driving experience and knowledge scores as well as between driving training and knowledge scores for young drivers.  \nMethods:  \nA questionnaire survey that covered questions related to traffic law, fines, demerit points, traffic signs, and different driving situations was conducted among young drivers to assess their knowledge level. In addition to the different demographic questions, the survey included questions related to their licensing-related training and driving experience.  \nResults:  \nThe participants revealed an acceptable level of knowledge in general, measured in terms of the percentage of correct responses. The participants showed an above-average level of knowledge of traffic signs, an acceptable level of knowledge in questions related to handling different driving situations, but they lacked knowledge of questions related to fines and demerit points. Drivers who attended a driving course before obtaining their driver's license performed better than drivers who did not. Similarly, drivers with more driving experience performed better than drivers with less experience.  \nConclusion:  \nIn summary, the results suggest that providing driving courses and acquiring driving experience are relevant to the acquisition of driving knowledge for young drivers.  \nKeywords: Traffic regulations, Driver education, Driver training, Traffic law, Young driver, Traffic signs.  \n\n| Article History | Received: October 24, 2020 | Revised: January 11, 2021 | Accepted: January 13, 2021 |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n\n1. INTRODUCTION  \nIdentifying the factors that affect drivers’ behavior is an essential step in raising road safety standards [1] . New drivers must gain an acceptable level of knowledge of the traffic rules to drive a vehicle on public roads [2 - 4] . This type of knowledge is usually accumulated at a young age as part of the process of acquiring a driver's license. Young drivers are at a higher risk of being involved in a crash compared to older and more experienced drivers [5]. There is a general public percep-  \n* Address correspondence to this author at the Department of Engineering, Utah Valley University, 800 W.

Although there is no demonstrable link between a lack of knowledge and increased crash risk [6-8], there is a high number of fatalities and injuries among young drivers compared to other age groups in many countries [9 - 11] . Therefore, it is essential for young drivers to have an acceptable level of knowledge.  \nTrying to understand the level of knowledge acquired by young drivers in Qatar, the purpose of this study is to assess their awareness of traffic rules and to investigate whether their knowledge is correlated with their driving experienc","cbCaioqYf62ckGut","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaioqYf62ckGut","pdf",669489,"English","# Abstract\n## Background\n## Aim\n## Methods\n## Results\n## Conclusion\n# Introduction","[{\"question\":\"What question does the study aim to address?\",\"answer\":\"The study investigates young drivers’ level of traffic knowledge and whether driving experience and driving training are associated with knowledge scores.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the young drivers’ traffic knowledge measured?\",\"answer\":\"Through a questionnaire covering traffic law, fines, demerit points, traffic signs, and different driving situations, plus licensing-related training and experience items.\"},{\"question\":\"What were the key findings about knowledge levels?\",\"answer\":\"Participants showed an acceptable overall knowledge level, performed better on traffic signs, and handled some driving situations adequately, but lacked knowledge about fines and demerit points.\"}]","Impact of Experience and Training on Traffic Knowledge of Young Drivers | PDF"]
