Road traffic accidents (RTAs) are one of the 10 top causes of death and injury worldwide. This study uses a correlational design to investigate the associations between spatial thinking and driving ability, when controlling for executive functions. This involved participants (N=129) completing a series of questionnaires and tasks to assess their spatial skills, executive functions and driving ability. We found that spatial thinking was not a significant predictor of driving ability. We discuss how the creation of a novel driving questionnaire lays a foundation to investigate spatial thinking and driving.
