Estimating Car Speeds Misled by Car Size and Noise
An Iowa university study found people overestimate small noisy cars and underestimate large smooth ones. About 100 students judged speeds as cars passed at known rates. Horn sounds added about five mph to perceived speed. rattling cars doubled that error. Smaller cars were judged faster at equal pace. Novice and experienced drivers were similarly accurate. Close estimates occurred at 10–12 mph, but 50–60 mph guesses were erratic.
