Two groups of drivers designated as being younger or older, dependent upon the age split at under or over 51 years, were tested on several performance judgmental conditions, including a driving simulation laboratory. Various performance and judgmental scores were generated and analyzed in an attempt to relate such scores to chronological age. It was generally found that the judgmental skills of drivers do not decline with age (until senility) and that most older drivers make compensatory changes in their driving habits to coincide with known physiological deterioration. As a screening device for driver licensing tests, a sign tester device is recommended to discover those drivers, old or young, who cannot perform well on the double task of sign reading and vehicle steering.
