[Evaluation of the efficiency of the visual system in automobile drivers].

On the basis of results of the examinations performed in 545 persons one was aiming to establish the most frequently encountered abnormalities which are the cause of disqualifications in obtaining a professional or unprofessional driving licence. The licence obtained 386 persons and from that number 59.1 per cent professional and 40.9 unprofessional drivers. One hundred and fifty nine persons were refused a driving licence; 66.6 p.c. of this number were professional and 38.4 p.c. unprofessional drivers. The ground for disqualification referred to the presence of squint - 40.9 p.c., low visual acuity - 29.4 p.c., disturbances in color discrimination - 8.2 p.c., and three-dimensional vision - 4.4 p.c.

The impaired driver. A critical review of the facts.

Traffic accidents have been subject to relatively little scientific study in California. A substantial barrier to adequate basic research in this field has been the assumption that more is known about the underlying causes of accidents than actually is. For example, within the medical profession, there is a tendency to assume that physical impairments of drivers are important in the causation of accidents, although little evidence has been collected to confirm or deny this assumption.Research into the underlying causes of accidents is a worthy but infinitely complex task. It must be accomplished before the driver's contribution to accidents can be seen in proper perspective, its components identified and dealt with on a rational basis.

[Examination of automobile driving license eligibility from the viewpoint of drivers apprehended for alcohol infractions].

80 DUI-offenders whose aptitude had been judged insufficient after their first aptitude test, underwent a second, higher level test. They were then interviewed about the conduction of these drivers aptitude tests. The test duration of 1-2 hours was considered to be sufficient. Less than one third of all interviewees thought that an objective judgement of the questioning would not be possible. Exam anxiety occurred only very occasionally during the questioning. Explanations about general problems and about the testing objectives given at the beginning of the tests were said to have been very helpful. Such relevant information should be given not only to the participants but also to their solicitors and GPs.
