Abstract

Date Presented 04/07/19

This prospective study determined the driving errors underlying a strategic driving maneuver that validly predicted passing versus failing an on-road assessment in drivers with multiple sclerosis (MS). Study findings indicate that through lane maintenance or speed regulation errors, the strategic driving maneuver may supplement on-road driving performance to help determine pass versus fail outcomes in drivers with MS.
