2. BACKGROUND
A. MARINE CORPS ORDER 5100.19E REQUIRES CHANGES TO ADDRESS THE
FOLLOWING ISSUES THAT PERTAIN TO MARINE CORPS TRAFFIC SAFETY.
(1) DRIVER TRAINING CONDUCTED DURING RECRUIT TRAINING.
(2) AUTHORIZED MAKE-UP COURSES FOR DRIVER TRAINING CONDUCTED
DURING RECRUIT TRAINING.
(3) AUTHORIZED COURSES THAT MEET THE UNDER 26 TRAINING REQUIREMENT.
3. ACTION. THE FOLLOWING CHANGES SHALL BE MADE TO THE BASIC ORDER:
A. TO ENCLOSURE (2), PARA 3.b. REPLACE PARAGRAPH TO READ: ALL
MILITARY PERSONNEL UNDER THE AGE OF 26 WILL COMPLETE A COURSE IN
TRAFFIC SAFETY DESIGNED TO ESTABLISH AND REINFORCE A POSITIVE
ATTITUDE TOWARD DRIVING.
B. TO ENCLOSURE (2), PARA 3.b.(1). REPLACE PARAGRAPH TO READ:
CONDUCT AND ADMINISTRATION. IT IS THE INTENT OF THE MARINE CORPS TO
ESTABLISH A TRAINING SYSTEM THAT WILL ADDRESS BOTH THE ENTRY POINT
AND ONGOING NEEDS OF MARINES. OPPORTUNITIES FOR RENEWAL OF RISK
MANAGEMENT PRINCIPLES IN TRAFFIC SAFETY SHOULD PARALLEL A
MARINE'S CAREER.
C. TO ENCLOSURE (2), PARA 3.b.(1) ADD SUBPARAGRAPH(a). RECRUITS AND
OFFICER CANDIDATES WILL COMPLETE AN 8-HOUR COURSE THAT
EMPHASIZES RICK FACTORS IDENTIFIED IN MOTOR VEHICLE CRASH
ANALYSIS AND APPROPRIATE COUNTERMEASURES FOR YOUNG MARINES.
THE COURSE SHALL INCLUDE A WRITTEN EXAM AND MUST BE APPROVED
BY CMC (SD). AS NECESSARY, MODIFICATIONS TO MAKE THE COURSE
MORE SUITABLE TO LARGE GROUPS WILL BE APPROVED BY THE COURSE
PUBLISHER.
D. TO ENCLOSURE (2), PARA 3.b.(1) ADD SUBPARAGRAPH (b). EVERY
EFFORT SHOULD BE MADE TO ENSURE ALL RECRUITS AND OCS

THE MARINE MUST SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETE THE END OF COURSE EXAM.
E. TO ENCLOSURE (2), PARA 3.b.(1) ADD SUBPARAGRAPH (c). UNITS THAT
ELECT TO CONDUCT RENEWAL TRAINING SHOULD ADDRESS FINDINGS IN
CRASH ANALYSIS AND PARALLEL CRITICAL TIMES DURING THE YEAR THAT

ACTIVITIES SHOULD BE USED FOR RENEWAL TRAINING. IN ADDITION TO THE
