The document reports on the ability of drivers to estimate their own and other vehicle speeds (absolute); their own and other vehicle relative speeds; their knowledge of highway striping as it relates to the lawfulness of passing; their judgmental ability to determine the safeness of passing on a mountainous road; and their reactions to an experimental No Passing Zone sign. It compares such ability, knowledge and judgment among three types of presentation: 16mm motion picture films, the UCLA Driving Simulation Laboratory (DSL), and actual on-the-road (field) tests.
