Description
Summary:Several new driving knowledge tests and a conventional written test are compared with respect to their correlations with real driving performance. It is found that a theoretical knowledge test, using slides of simple real-traffic situations, correlates higher with real driving performance than the conventional test. Therefore, as a licensing device, it is recommended to use the described slide test instead of written multiple choice tests.
