abstract="BACKGROUND: Driver confidence can be measured through concepts such as driving frequency, situational avoidance, and self-perceptions. However, it is not clear how well confidence aligns with actual driving performance. <br><br>PURPOSE: We examined the relationship between subjective measures of confidence in driving ability and on-road performance. <br><br>METHOD: We report findings from two studies. The first compared scores from the Older and Wiser Driver Questionnaire to an on-road driving evaluation. The second looked at the Day and Night Driving Comfort Scales and Driving Habits and Intentions Questionnaire in relation to an on-road driving evaluation. <br><br>FINDINGS: No measures of confidence in driving ability were related to on-road driving performance. IMPLICATIONS: Confidence in driving ability bears little relationship to on-road performance. Future research should examine approaches to foster a better match between self-assessments and actual abilities among drivers.<br><br>© CAOT 2016.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
