Abstract

Adults aged 67 to 78 were compared in driving performance on the road and in driving simulators. The driving simulator operated in an urban environment and required the subjects to execute maneuvers that would allow evaluation of their driving ability in a multitask situation. The two tests proved to be strongly and negatively correlated - the higher the score on the road test, the lower the score on the driving simulator. (Author/publisher)
