OBJECTIVES. We examined the validity of our on-road driving assessment to quantify its
outcomes. METHOD. Older drivers (N= 127) completed a driving assessment on a
standardized road course. Measurements included demographics, driving errors, and
driving test outcomes; a categorical global rating score (pass–fail); and the sum of
maneuvers (SMS) score (0–273). RESULTS. There were significant differences in the SMS
(F= 29.9, df= 1 p≤. 001) between drivers who passed the driving test and those who failed …
