Inappropriate driving behaviour is considered one of themajor causes of road accidents in India as compared to defective geometric design of pavement or mechanical defectsin vehicles.Apart from the other factors causing accidents such as poor road design ,vehicle conditions, driver characteristics offrequent traffic violations, increase in crashes due to self-centred driving, etc. it can also be resulted in conditions suchas lack of psychophysical abilities e.g. poor eye sight, poor vision at night time, glare blindness etc. Hence, improveddriver screening facilities accompanied by availability of good driving aids such as anti glare glasses can be aneffective and preventive measure to inhibit crash risks.This article is based on a case study jointly done by CSIR-Central Road Research Institute and Institute of DriverTraining & Research, Maruti, Loni Border, Delhi, India to highlight visual limitations among the learner drivers whichcan influence (as per the literature review) driving behaviour with crash chances, which can be reduced throughimproving safety accompanied with better driver screening, providing free visual aids and modifying present licensingprocedures..
