Seven professional drivers from a firm of car manufacturers drove around two separate routes (one of 12 miles and one of 18 miles) under normal traffic conditions, accompanied by two observers. During the drives, the two observers systematically observed and recorded certain items of driver behaviour. On the basis of their driving behaviour, the seven drivers were put into three classes - Safe, Dissociated Active and Dissociated Passive and into an overall order of merit ranging from safest to least safe. These drivers were also put into an order of merit by the Supervisor of drivers from the car manufacturer who based it on accident rate and personal knowledge of the driver over a period of years. The correlation between these two orders of merit was +0.68. (Author)
