A total of 16 drivers (8 ages 16-30, 8 ages 65 or older) drove a driving simulator at approximately 45 mi/hr (72 km/hr) while following either a car, pickup truck, school bus, or tractor trailer. They drove on a winding two-lane road as they normally would, but were instructed not to pass the lead vehicle. The variance of the speed of the lead vehicles was either low (4.2 mi/hr (6.7 km/hr)) or high (for the car and pickup truck only, 7.1 mi/hr (11.4 km/hr)). The subjects also identified signs when they appeared.
