Carbon monoxide automobile emissions measured from the interior of a traveling automobile.

During a procedure to monitor carbon monoxide (CO) concentrations inside a traveling car, it was discovered that CO emissions from individual passing vehicles produced accurately measurable increases in the CO concentration. The CO produced by individual vehicles varied by three orders of magnitude; this finding demonstrates that a relatively small number of cars can be responsible for a high percentage of total vehicle CO Emissions.

Assessing the driving potential of the handicapped.

Proper and early assessment of the handicapped person's potential for driving a vehicle depends upon an understanding of the factors involved in a driver evaluation. The driver evaluation factors discussed in this paper are: driving aids and their application; the handicapped driver's physical, perceptive, and cognitive capabilities; and the psychosocial characteristics that influence a client's ability and need for driving.

Laboratory investigation of effect of acute doses of nomifensine on a simulated aspect of night-time car driving performance.

1. Six healthy volunteers received single doses of either nomifensine 100 mg, nomifensine 50 mg or placebo at weekly intervals in a randomized double-blind crossover study. 2. Subjects were subjected to a simulated test of car driving at night. 3. Testing lasted about 1.5 h and consisted of measuring responses to light stimuli, a modification of a test designed by Baker & Theologus (1972). 4. Nomifensine 100 mg reduced the latency of response significantly when compared with placebo (P less than 0.05). Nomifensine 50 mg had no significant effect. 5. It was concluded that nomifensine was unlikely to impair night driving performance.
