Abstract

Novice drivers are accident repeaters in traffic system. This does something important with driving experience. However, the experiences are accumulated during first few years after they get driving license which is a traffic accident occurs frequently period. During this period, new driver's driving mode plays an important role in driving safety. Speed choice in wet weather is compared with those in fine conditions. The result shows that novice drivers are inclined to reduce their driving speed in rainy day (4–5km/h). At the same time, their heart rate changes (HRC) remarkably (p<0.01). In other words, new drivers undergo stress in this situation. But the speed reduction is small, and yet such speed modifications are not sufficient to compensate for the increased hazard posed by wet weather.
