20.500.12556/DKUM-96610 Pre–post evaluation of Slovenia’s additional training programme for novice drivers implications for reducing risk and promoting sustainable road safet Education and post-licencing training programmes for novice drivers arewidely implemented to improve road safety, yet their effectiveness remains debated. This study evaluates shortterm attitudinal changes relating to participation in a mandatory post-licencing training programme for novice drivers in Slovenia. A within-subject pre–post survey methodology was used to evaluate self-reported driving attitudes across six safety-related domains among 225 novice drivers at a Slovenian driving training centre in 2024. Paired t-tests revealed minor yet statistically significant improvement following the programme in perceived support for the additional driver training, lowered overconfidence, heightened care in speeding and intersection behaviour, and enhanced attitudes towards vehicle operation and utilization of safety equipment. Attitudes regarding attention and adherence to traffic regulations showed negligible shifts, indicating a strong baseline attitude towards safe driving. The findings indicate amodest but fairly consistent short-termchange in attitudes after programme participation. Due to the lack of a control group and dependence on self-reported data, the findings should be seen as evaluative rather than causative, necessitating more longitudinal and behavioural research to evaluate long-term and behavioural effects. novice drivers driver education road safety post-licencing training mladi vozniki izobraževanje varnost v prometu tečaji po izpitu true false true MDPI Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Znanstveno delo 2026-01-21 03:33:56 2026-03-12 08:57:08 2026-03-13 03:13:36 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 0 Str.
