South African statistics show that novice driver crashes (over a threeyear period) represent approximately a tenth of all driver fatalities. As a signatory to the United Nations Decade of Action for Road Safety 2011-2020 (UNDoA), South Africa has pledged to halve road traffic crashes by 2020 from the 2010 baseline. To achieve a systematic reduction in road traffic deaths, the South African Department of Transport (DoT) published the revised National Road Safety Strategy (NRSS) 2016-2030. Developed and designed according to the principles of the Safe Systems approach , the NRSS aims to address the South African road safety problem by prioritising road safety interventions, ensuring appropriate allocation of resources and funds for the design and implementation of actions and strategies to address the dire road safety situation in South Africa. Evidence based research , needs to inform the type and direction of the interventions implemented. The NRSS mentions learner driver training only briefly and there are no clear guidelines on how to address novice driver training within the NRSS framework. This paper provides an overview of competencies acquired while learning to drive and makes recommendations for a more inclusive approach to address novice driver training in the quest for a safe road and traffic system.  \n1 INTRODUCTION  \n1.1 Background  \nCountry crash statistics reported for the 2017 calendar year state that in the region of 14 050 people died on South African roads (Road Traffic Management Corporation 2018) . The number of people killed on the roads per annum were 25.9 per 100 000 people (World Health Organization, 2018) . The high number of road deaths is a cause of concern as it hampers social and economic development efforts in a middle-income country such as South Africa.  \nAs a signatory to the United Nations Decade of Action for Road Safety 2011-2020 (UNDoA), South Africa has undertaken to halve the number of road deaths by 2020 from the 2010 baseline. Although some progress has been made this is not enough and an additional ten to fifteen years is needed to address the problem (Department of Transport 2015) . South Africa needs to meet the newly adopted 2030 Agenda for Sustainable  \nDevelopment , which sets the target of halving the global number of deaths and injuries from road traffic crashes by 2030 (World Health Organization 2018) .  \nThe Global Plan for the UNDoA sets out five pillars (safer vehicles, safer road users, safer roads and mobility, institutional management and post-crash care) , according to which countries can align their safety interventions. The status of safety performances associated with these pillars is, however, still considered inadequate in developing countries such as South Africa (Small and Runji, 2014) . These inadequacies need to be resolved systematically within the Safe System approach along with building institutional and human capacity of implementing agencies (Small and Runji, 2014) .  \nTo achieve a systematic reduction in road deaths, the South African Department of Transport (DoT) and the Road Traffic Management Corporation (the implementation agency of the DoT) published the revised National Road Safety Strateg","cbCaiiES4PXupn8W","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiES4PXupn8W","pdf",262968,11,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## Background\n## Problem statement","[{\"question\":\"What problem does the paper address regarding novice drivers in South Africa?\",\"answer\":\"Novice drivers are overrepresented in fatal traffic crashes, yet South African guidance on how to handle novice driver training within the NRSS framework is unclear and limited.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the NRSS 2016-2030 and what approach underpins it?\",\"answer\":\"The NRSS 2016-2030 is South Africa’s revised National Road Safety Strategy, developed under the principles of the Safe Systems approach to guide interventions and resource allocation.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the paper recommend for novice driver training within the NRSS framework?\",\"answer\":\"The paper recommends adopting a more inclusive approach to novice driver training, informed by the competencies acquired while learning to drive.\"}]","NOVICE DRIVER TRAINING WITHIN THE SOUTH AFRICAN NRSS 2016-2030 - Abstract and Recommendations | PDF",28]
