During 2 two-week survey periods, data were collected on a total of 8,905 California drivers license applicants. The purpose was to assess the ability of the written and drive tests to screen out accident prone drivers. An additional purpose was to provide descriptive data on the licensing process. Only the written test appeared to have some predictive validity. Correlations between the number of items correctly answered on the applicant's first written test and subsequent one year driving record variables were obtained. Better performance on the written test tended to be associated with fewer accidents and convictions. Females tended to do better on the written test, worse on the drive test, and have fewer accidents than males. The drive test did apparently prevent a larger percentage of older applicants from getting their licenses renewed.
