Abstract
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. (Author/publisher).
