• Abstract:
  Each year, two million new drivers are licensed in the United States. in 1947 the number of licensed operators had reach d a grand total of more than 40 million, over three times the number in the rest of the world. Today, one out of three persons over 16 years of age holds a driver's license. With the number of motor cars on our streets and highways steadily mounting, with the increased traffic congestion and accidents, and with the urgent need for new and improved highways, motor transportation has become one of our great national problems. This investigation is concerned primarily with one question only: What can be disclosed concerning the driver himself that will enable the states to improve driver-licensing procedures and contribute to highway safety?
