TESTS FDR MOTORISTS
Dr Elizabeth Sloan Chesser, commenting on the relation of psycho logy to the motorist at the I\ew Health Society Summer' School at Malvern, said that; there was not nearly enough control over motorists. ‘Fifty years hence people will hardly believe that we were so careless of human nte that we allowed people to drive motor vehicles without giving them any proper -medical or psychological tests, she said. “ Tests of a person psychologically are just as important as medical tests. A person may be physically sound, his sight and hearing may be perfect, but be may be quite unsafe as a driver because he has some psychological weakness. The man who wants to pass everything else, on the road is suffering from a, psychological maladjustment which should have been ascertained before be applied for a license.’ ’
