A study was done for young adults to look at the link between taking a drivers education class and the risk of being in an automobie accident. 450 participants were invloved in the study, 150 cases who had been in an accident and 300 controls who had not. Of 150 cases, 70 reported having taken a driver's education class. Of 300 controls, 170 reported having taken a driver's education course.
