Abstract

A discussion of the work and procedure of the driver clinics set up by the Harvard Traffic Bureau. These are traveling clinics, spending a month at each destination. The clinic requires a trained specialist as supervisor and physical apparatus consisting of a vigilance test, a universal visual test, a speed estimation test, and a hearing test. The clinics have gathered valuable information about human causes of accidents and have re-educated drivers in the effort to reduce accidents.
