| Abstract | This study applied the technology acceptance model (in its original form and in an extended form) to the case of the computerized traffic test administered in the Emirate of Sharjah. The authors collected their data using a questionnaire from a sample of 397 applicants who took the traffic test over a five-month period. Collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, reliability analysis, correlation analysis, and regression analysis. The results indicated significant correlation between perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use (the two main variables of the TAM). In addition, the results showed significant positive effects for perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitude, and computer skills on the applicant’s choice of the computerized traffic test. However, there were no significant effects for the level of satisfaction with the system or enjoyment of the system on the applicant’s choice of the computerized traffic test.
