  2. 1. Driving Violations : Investigating Forms of Irrational Rationality

    Author : Sonja Forward; Lars Åberg; Dianne Parker; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; theory of planned behaviour; driving violations; risk-taking; speeding; dangerous overtaking; Psychology; Psykologi;

    Abstract : Several aspects contribute to road crashes and one important part is the ‘human factor’. This information is interesting but insufficient unless we also try to understand what is meant by the term. READ MORE

  4. 2. Driving assessment and driving behaviour

    Author : Helena Selander; Torbjörn Falkmer; Högskolan i Jönköping; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : IntroductionDriving is an important part of everyday life and represents independence. Activities, both productive and social, may be affected if a person can no longer drive. Older drivers, as a group, have a low crash rate. READ MORE
