General Description

The Driving Behaviours Observation Grid is a driving performance evaluation method. It includes 50 items distributed across the 10 dimensions: pre-driving checks, vehicle control, visual search, communication with other road users, driving on urban roads, driving on the freeway, turning at junctions, driving on roundabouts, specific manoeuvres, and other specific behaviours. A general score is obtained, in which a higher score indicates better driving performance.
