Psycho-motor
efficiencies of the drivers whose driving had involved in one or
more serious bus accidents (N= 50) were compared to a matched group
(N= 50) of drivers having accident-free driving career far 7 years.
The results showed that the drivers of accident group had significantly
lower meantime and higher mean errors in completing simple and complex
tasks, were high speed, and low accuracy oriented than those of the
non-accident group. The error scores of the accident group in completing
simple anti complex task were negatively correlated with the time
scores.
