Item

They are tested on steering ability and reaction time by means of a clocking device that records the time the driver stays on the road, and the operation of brake and clutch. The machine consists of a driver's seat and steering wheel, recording panel, the picture of a road which moves back and forth and a simulated hood of a car which the driver attempts to keep pointed directly at an arrow on the road.
