Longer Training Proposed for Inexperienced Drivers
Iowa State College psychologist Dr. A R Lauer urged a year of apprenticeship and two years of probation before a regular license. He said 30 days is insufficient and learning to drive safely may take five to ten years, but can be shortened with proper training. He outlined a plan starting at age 15 with a supervised year, then two years probation, and a second test for full licensing.
