Younger moped riders aged 16-18 are defined as a high-risk group in road traffic accidents in Norway. The license for a moped is the only one which is obtained without a practical external test, only a theoretical one, and thus it is the rider instructor who assesses whether the rider is practically fit for this license. In this industry there is competition, which might affect the quality of the moped rider training. Thus, our research question is: Is moped training operated as a course, and if so, what factors influence this organization of training, and how could it influence road safety? Our findings indicate that there are tendencies that the training is organized as a course rather than individual training and the factors influencing this on one side are parents, learner drivers and driving schools’ attitudes and norms related to efficiency, and on the other side curricula and regulations related to safety. The conclusion is that is that it seems that the change in focus from course thinking to an individual focus might be taking longer than expected, and that elements such as attitudes and norms in addition to efficiency in form of both time and money are contributing factors to this delay. There is thus room for improvement in the moped rider training industry.
