On the whole, the learners’ traffic violation reflection level improved by the end of the test. The mean differences<br />

between the pre-test and post-test positively increased among the four groups. Also, by the end of the experiment,<br />

analysis of the traffic violation reflection levels for all groups indicated the proposed ML environment significantly<br />

reduced the gap in reflective levels between the graduate student group and college student group. In particular, the<br />

female and college age groups (Group F-L) showed the greatest improvement, and the male and college age groups<br />

(Group M-L) were second. These findings indirectly explain why the analysis of the UMLS questionnaire score from<br />

females was significantly higher than males and the score from college students was significantly higher than<br />

graduates.<br />
