Key Points Question Are brief off-road screening measures sufficiently sensitive and specific to identify older drivers who will not pass an on-road driving test in Australia? Findings This prognostic study including 560 drivers aged 63 years and older found that off-road screening tests could identify older drivers who would not pass an on-road driving test with 77% sensitivity and 82% specificity. A combination of measures drawing from multiple skill domains provided the best prediction. Meaning These findings suggest that brief off-road screening tests could be a cost-effective, objective tool to screen older drivers to determine who might be an unsafe driver and to indicate referral for an on-road driving test.
