How Did They Do?
All of these tests are very important to driving, and test for critical skills. However, the results from them need to be interpreted differently.
Sight Test: Sight is the most important aspect of driving, according to a Minnesota DMV official. If the person being tested struggled with any sight aspects of the test, have them tested professionally. Both sight tests are official government-set standards, so driving could be dangerous if they aren't met.
Reaction Time Test: Reaction time is a very hard area to measure, but it is also very important to a driver. Usually, anything below 15 centimeters from the bottom (or about 170 milliseconds) is considered an acceptable reaction time.
Blind Spot Test: The results of this test are pretty straight foward; if the person being tested can turn to face you in a limited amount of time, they are fine to keep driving.
Written Test: These are all concepts and problems that seniors should have encountered in their younger days of driving. It's important that they remember these things; therefore, more then 2-3 questions wrong should be something of concern.
