Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To identify a battery of tests that predicts safe and unsafe performance on an on-road assessment of driving.----
DESIGN: Prospective cohort study.----
SETTING: University laboratory assessment and an on-road driving test.----
PARTICIPANTS: Two hundred seventy community-living adults aged 70 to 88 recruited through the electoral roll.----
MEASUREMENTS: Performance on a battery of multidisciplinary tests and on a standardized measure of on-road driving performance.----
RESULTS: A combination of three tests from the vision, cognitive, and motor domains, including motion sensitivity, color choice reaction time, postural sway on a compliant foam rubber surface, and a self-reported measure of driving exposure, was able to classify participants into safe and unsafe driver groups with sensitivity of 91% and specificity of 70%.----
CONCLUSION: In a sample of licensed older drivers, a short battery of tests and a self-reported measure of driving exposure were able to accurately predict driving safety.

Citation countsare sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
