Abstract

In the study, volunteer drivers were tested in instrumented cars by driver license examiners assigned to the projects. Analysis of the data indicate that subject-drivers demonstrated a "practice effect"; an indication that as drivers proceeded through the test over time, relative numbers of fine and coarse steering corrections decreased. Whether or not such "practice effects" indicate a move toward "safer" or "just more relaxed" driving is an interesting question, and one which certainly deserves further study.
