This home-based, user-friendly screening software is based on the DrivingHealth® Inventory battery of functional tests which were validated in a six-year cooperative research project between NHTSA and the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration, with additional support from the National Institute on Aging. Drivers with a significant loss in the functional capabilities tested by Roadwise Review are 2 to 5 times more likely to cause a motor vehicle crash than drivers without losses in these key safe driving abilities.
The measures include:
Leg Strength and General Mobility - enables you to accelerate and brake under regular conditions and to respond quickly in emergencies.
• Head/Neck Flexibility - allows you to check blind spots when you back up, change lanes, or merge into traffic.
• High Contrast Visual Acuity - helps you detect pavement markings, read road signs and spot hazards in or near the road.
• Low Visual Acuity - enables you to maintain lane position and drive safely in rain, dusk, haze and fog.
• Working Memory - helps you follow directions, remember traffic rules and regulations, and make good decisions as you drive.
• Visualization of Missing Information - enables you to recognize and anticipate a threat or hazard even when part of it is hidden from view.
• Visual Search - enables you to scan the driving environment and recognize traffic signs, signals, navigational landmarks and hazards.
• Visual Information Processing Speed - allows you to pay attention to what is in front of you while also detecting threats at the edge of your field of view.

Available on CD-Rom, the tool allows seniors to measure the eight functional abilities shown to be the strongest predictors of crash risk among older drivers in the privacy of their own home.
