Open publisher page 4 citations

Abstract

The purpose of this report was to review literature relating to car driver licence testing. Major objectives of testing systems were identified as establishing competence and setting a standard. The review brings together current knowledge relating to driver behaviour and to studies of unsafe driver behaviour, against which licence tests might be evaluated. Studies of licence tests are discussed and recommendations made regarding tests, which should be considered for adoption in Australia. (Author/TRRL)
