A report on young driver research prepared last year by Monash University - accident research centre found that , in 1990 and 1991 , almost a bird of the people killed in road crashes were drivers under 25 . Yet this age group represents only 14 percent of the population . The report , which also updated a review of international literature about , among other things , driver training , also reached what many would consider a startling cond usi on : Training and education pro no pally in the US do not appear to reduce younger drivers risk of crashing The Monash University researchers looked at the crash information from New South Wales for 1986 to 1990 from Victoria for 1984 to 1990 and from South Australia for 1986 to 1990 . The only Australian evidence which possibly indicates that counter - measures targeted specifically at young beginner drivers have been effective comes from evaluations of zero blood alcohol concentration legislation . The Monash researchers also looked the US road - crash in 九番 ation for 1989 on 6.6 million police - reported crashes involving fatal flies injuries and motor vehicle damage . The researchers looked at a sample of 44 000 crashes . The conclusion was that the available literature gives a pessimistic view of the effectiveness of driver training and education reflected in the In a blini ty to produce drivers safer than those who have not been trained .
