Are older drivers' perceptions of their driving ability accurately reflected in performance on a driving simulation task?

摘要: This study sought to determine the relationship between performance on a computer simulated hazard perception task (as surrogate measure of crash risk) and perceptions driving ability, confidence, avoidance dangerous conditions among sample 98 older drivers (aged 65 years over). Analysis revealed that there were minimal relationships test self-rated particular situations suggesting these self-assessments are not an accurate reflection proxy or more specifically risk. If poor at judging their own risk then this could hamper attempts self-regulate through countermeasures such as self-imposed restrictions.
