| Abstract: | This study evaluates the short-term effects of Slovenia’s Additional Training Programme for Safe Driving, aimed at drivers penalized with demerit points. Using a pre/post design, 103 participants completed the Driver Behaviour Questionnaire (DBQ) and additional self-assessment tools before and after programme participation. Results show limited statistically significant short-term improvements, as shown by changes in a limited number of DBQ items (3 out of 27). More significant changes were shown in recent self-reported safer driving behaviour (9 out of 17 items) and attitudes towards safe driving practices (5 out of 27 items). Mostly, the positive changes were seen in the field of reductions in conscious violations such as speeding and aggressive manoeuvres. These findings suggest the programme has a modest but measurable impact on short-term behavioural change. Further research is needed to also assess long-term effects and to strengthen programme design for broader impact. |
