Drivers Os Future May Need Proof Balancing Will Soon Be Required By WILLIAM F. VOGLER United Press Staff Correspondent TRBNTON, N. J. — (UP) —Drivers who like t© dominate others, feed on excitement and Jump to hasty conclusions may have difficulty in obtaining a license in the not-too-distant future. While the prospect of a personality test'for drivers is still in the theoretical stage, Capt. Joseph Dauphers. of the State Motor Vehicle Inspection Service, thinks it may some day becdfhe a reality. Capt. Dauphers, who heads the unique Driver Clinic Program in New Jersey, feels the psychology of the driver is as important, If not more important, than his physical condition. ( With this al min mind, the clinics in Trenton and Woodbury have been collecting data from accident repeaters, drivers involved in fatal accidents and from persons who have been without a license for 10 years or more. Personalities Tested In addition to the physiclal testfc given the applicants—depth perception, field of vision, reaction time —they are also given a battery of tests designed to reveal significant data about their personalities. “We hope to discover some patterns among the persons who have more x accidents than the average driver,” Capt. Dauphers said. "If we do trace out personalitypatterns tor accident-prone drivers we may . someday be able to spot them before they are given licenses,’' he added. Data from the tests are studied

by psychologist* at New York University who have been making a study of the proMem since 1952. when the Driver Clinic program began. While the program is a continuing one, a report is expected from N. Y. U. in September. May Affect Laws Just what impact the report will have on the state’s motor vehicle is pure conjecture at this point. However, there is growing evidence that decognition is being given the psychological factor in automobile accidents. Gov. Robert B. Meyner recently pointed out that motor vehicle inspection had a “psychological value” since they made the motorist “safety conscious.” Carrying this reasoning a step further Assemblyman William V. Musto recently asked the state legislature to give "increasyi emphasis to human engineering” and less to the mechanical factor in the study of automotive safety. * Some day the glimpse into the mind of the man behind the wheel may prove more important than the view beneath the hood of his vehicle. Truly JkDead End PORT CLINTON, Ohio— (UP)—. Truck drivers complained to police recently that by following signs on state' route 53 they were ending up on a dead-end street. An investigation disclosed pranksters had changed the signs and the truckers were winding up in a cemetery. To Catch A White Pip DELWARE, Ohio — (UP) — A 10-pound white pig escaped from a truck here and caused police, firemen, and a merchant volunteer considerable excitement for a while. But they trapped the pig and took hi mto the livestock yards for keeping until the owner c?uld be found.
