This paper evaluates the driving behavior of young drivers few years after licensure. The evaluation is based on two data collection approaches, which were compiled for the same trips. The first, In Vehicle Data Recorders (IVDR), which were installed in the young drivers’ vehicles for a study period of 8 months. The second, Self-Reports (SR), which were provided by the young drivers at random times throughout the study period. These data have been compared and used in a complementary manner in order to provide an understanding of participants’ driving behavior. The results show that young drivers clearly perceived themselves as being safer drivers than they are, according to IVDR findings. The results also suggest, based on the two approaches, that young drivers significantly improved their driving behavior during the study period. The analysis obtained should be considered as exemplifying the potential of what may be accomplished and understood using these evaluation approaches.
