A. Bryce, division of public safety, University of Toronto, in comment- ing on the U, of T. exhibit of psy- cho-physical tests at the Canadian National Exhibition. The tests are designed to measure the physical and mental aptitudes of individual drivers. Although engineers ara huilding better and safer highways an manufacturers are providing better and safer vehicles, death and dam- age are still increasing. "The ob- vious conclusion," says Mr. Bryce, "is that the human factor is not' keeping pace with the other two." "To drive safely you must see clearly, think clearly, act prompt- ly and skilfully. Yow must have a clear eye, an alert mind and a steady hand. When you are tested at the safe driving exhibit, you will learn your rating in these respects," he says. Mr. Bryce, who conducts a course at the university which has done much to promote safe driving among professional driv- ers, has some interesting facts and figures, Reaction time--that is, the time it takes to recognize the need for action--is three-quarters of 'a sec- ond for the average person. This means the average motorist travel- ling at 60 miles an hour, moves 66 feet or four car lengths, before he even realizes he has to stop. A mo- torist with average reaction time travelling at 60 miles an hour with good brakes on a good road re- quires 226 feet or fifteen car lengths to actually stop. One of the tests to be on display in the university exhibit, immedi- ately west of the automotive build- ing, tests this reaction time and tells how quickly you can act in an em- ergency. Glare Another of the university's tests is designed to check glare resist- ance, For safe night driving, Mr. Bryce makes five suggestions: do not light matches in car; keep dash light low; keep windshield clean; use lower beam when meeting other vehicles; drive more slowly. "Many people," says Mr. Bryce, "have faulty glare-vision and poor glare-recovery. They still drive swiftly through the night, trusting to luck and the other guy!" "Fatigue is an important factor in many accidents, particularly during vacation time when people are driving long distances," says Mr, Bryce. "It is important to know which of your senses are most af- fected when overtired."

East Whitby, Ontario skill is constantly required when overtaking or passing other vehic- les or when manoeuvring in confin- ed quarters, In this test, distance judgment is measured by the abil- ity of the driver to line up side by side two moving miniature cars vewed at an apparent distance of 20 feet. Mr, Bryce says, "Drivers who have difficulty in judging distances, should allow Te -space I meeting or overtaking other vehic- les; should avoid heavy traffic and exercise care when manoeuvring a car within close limits." Vision Vision is one of the most im- portant factors in driving, said the division director, Motorists should know exactly what to expect from their eyes. Besides testing, straight visual acuity, the university tests determine the motorists field . of vison and color discrimination. Field of vision is important when approaching intersections or any- where where a hazard might come from the side. Color discrimination is necessary, among other things, for quick re- cognition of traffic lights. People who are color blind, or in some cases even partially color blind, al- so have difficulty distinguishing between certain objects at dawn or dusk and should avoid driving at these times.
