FAQ: Young Drivers of Canada 2026 Graduate Survey on Predictive Driving Habits
TL;DR
Young Drivers of Canada's Gold Standard program gives graduates a lasting safety advantage with predictive driving habits that maintain a 97% collision-free rate years after training.
The program's habit-based curriculum uses cognitive training, in-vehicle coaching, and continuous feedback to build automatic hazard recognition and predictive scanning skills that persist long-term.
This approach creates safer roads by developing drivers who proactively prevent collisions, reducing stress and making daily commutes more secure for everyone in the community.
Graduates report using predictive skills almost daily to avoid near-misses, showing how cognitive habits transform routine driving into an automatic safety system.

The survey found that graduates who completed the Young Drivers program more than two years ago continue to consistently apply core cognitive driving habits, such as hazard identification and predictive driving, demonstrating the long-term durability of the training.
Unlike traditional programs that focus primarily on rules and short-term test preparation, the Gold Standard curriculum emphasizes cognitive driving habits like early hazard recognition, predictive scanning, and proactive space management, which are designed to persist well beyond the road test.
Graduates frequently cited skills such as anticipating the actions of other road users, adjusting position and speed before hazards escalate, scanning beyond the immediate vehicle ahead, and maintaining safe following distances and escape routes.
Graduates reported high confidence levels, averaging 4.6 out of 5 when asked if they felt more confident after completing the program, with this confidence being paired with heightened awareness and lower stress rather than overconfidence.
Many graduates described avoiding collisions or near-misses because they recognized developing hazards early, noting that these skills help them almost every day, not just in rare emergencies.
The 2026 results closely align with insights from the Young Drivers Graduate Survey 2023–2025, which similarly found retention of hazard perception and predictive driving behaviors among recent graduates, resulting in an almost 97% Collision‑Free or Not‑at‑fault rate.
