An audit in Georgia uncovered that the state's teen driver education program is ineffective in producing safer drivers, particularly those using online courses. Prompted by rising fatal crashes among young motorists, the audit reveals that the program is outdated and misaligned with national safety standards. Historical context shows that while driver education courses were thought to improve safety, many studies over the years question their effectiveness. This underscores not only Georgia's shortcomings but also a larger problem in the American approach to driver education and road safety.
The audit revealed that Georgia’s teen driver education program, despite funding, failed to produce safer drivers, particularly highlighting the ineffectiveness of online courses.
Georgia’s program’s deficiencies reflect a broader, national issue in driver education, raising concerns about the link between traditional courses and actual road safety outcomes.
