Four wheel drive (4WD) sales are booming in Australia. 4WD occupant fatalities occurring in rollovers are over represented in Australian's road crashes. This is a unique project using advanced technology to assess behavioural risks associated with the use of 4WDs and inexperienced drivers. It builds a novel, integrated computer-based screening tool to provide objective and reliable driver training assessments with the aim of (i) reducing crashes relating to inexperience and specific 4WD crashes and (ii) recommending public policy with regard to 4WD behavioural risks and driver training.
