Abstract

Information on vision test performance and personal and driving habits was obtained for 17.769 California drivers and was compared with their driving records, i.e., accidents and convictions for traffic citations. Of the vision tests evaluated, dynamic visual acuity is by far the one most closely related to driving record, followed by static visual acuity, visual field, and "night vision". The results show that mileage, age, and sex are also important factors influencing driving record, and that conviction experience is a much more stable driving record variable than accident experience.
