Abstract

Based on a survey of driver's license manual/test state-of-the-art and an analysis of the Arizona manual and test, recommendations were developed for improvements in both the manual and the test. Recommendations for improvement focused on changes involving manual and test content in the following areas: safe driving practices, rationale and driver licensing requirements. Additionally, it was recommended that some unnecessary material be omitted and that readability be improved by avoiding technical words and long or compound sentences.
