| 摘要： | This evaluation is the final stage of a project to develop and evaluate the driving performance evaluation (DPE) drive test for possible statewide implementation in California. This study and earlier studies in the series are part of a more extensive effort by the department to increase the competency of California motorists by improving the driver licensing process. The DPE is currently being used in over 60 field offices in southern California. The effect of the DPE on accident and citation rates was determined by comparing driving records for a sample of applicants taking the DPE with those of a sample of applicants taking the current drive test both before and after implementation of the DPE. Logistic regression analysis was used to compare the crash and citation rates of the groups during the 2 years immediately following driver license application. The findings failed to substantiate and reduction in accident involvements or traffic law violations resulting from implementation of the program. However, there is no question that the DPE is a more reliable and content-valid test. Therefore, it is recommended that the DPE road test be expanded to all offices in the state. |
