ADTSEA/NHTSA - National Driver Development Program

The following documents are an ongoing effort to better define driver education. Working with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration; State Agencies responsible for driver education and professionals throughout the United States, ADTSEA has developed these documents for public use.

Driving a car must be a life long learning process. Technology changes, environmental changes and society changes demand an ever changing driver. The content outcomes and delivery systems described here are meant to be a continuing process of traffic safety training. These three documents are titled:

1. Classroom and In-car Content – Segment I and Segment II
2. Delivery of Driver Education
3. Driver Development Outcomes

To provide an immediate need for driver education teachers, a sample driver education content outline is provided. This outline can be the basis of developing a complete driver education curriculum.

Your comments, input and direction for this project is encouraged. I would appreciate your comments and suggestions as we continue this ongoing project.

Please contact me through our web site and please continue to be concerned about safety on our highways.

Sincerely,

Allen Robinson, Ph.D.
