California drivers' license applicants were selected for participation in three experiments that evaluated the effects of administering new written tests in place of standard vehicle code law tests. These three experiments were developed as part of California's selective testing program. Original license applicants received tests that stressed both law knowledge and knowledge of other safe driving information. Drivers applying to renew their California drivers' licenses who were not pre-selected by prior driving record received tests that stressed knowledge of safe driving information. Another sample of renewal applicants who had moderate numbers of prior collisions or convictions were administered longer versions of the safe driving tests. In each of the above experiments, a control group of similar drivers received standard Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) law tests. An analysis of subsequent driving records revealed no significant differences between experimental and control groups of renewal applicants.
