Most drivers are not thinking about their impact on you; they are just rushed, distracted or upset. Follow the rules of the road: Maintain adequate following distance. This book is an in depth look at the elephant in the room that has gone unrecognized far too long and predominantly ignored by too many drivers of what is essential to being safe, especially in our present driving culture. That of actual but unrecognized driving risk. A bonus section addresses the concerns that new adult drivers and concerned nervous parents may have around learning and teaching how to drive and suggestions for everything from getting lessons to taking the dreaded drive test and beyond.

Government reports indicate that, on average, more than 3000 people die due to distracted driving each year, accounting for nearly 10% of all fatal car crashes. Other reports claim that two-thirds of fatal car accidents result from aggressive driving. Previous research has been inconclusive regarding how personality impacts distracted and aggressive driving behaviors. Therefore, the goal of this current study is to fill the gap in the literature concerning the role that personality plays in distracted and aggressive driving behaviors. We also explored the role that distracted and aggressive driving behaviors played in accident involvement. A sample of (N=327) participants were recruited using social media and the UCF SONA System. They were asked to self-report their driving behaviors and personality traits by completing a series of online questionnaires (ADBQ, BFI, DBQ, DDQ, DEMO, and IPIP NEO PI-R). Using this data, bivariate correlations were run using the Pearson Correlation Coefficients to determine the role that personality (OCEAN) plays in distracted and aggressive driving behaviors. We used the DDQ and the IPIP NEO PI-R to evaluate the relationship between personality and distracted driving, and we found that personality traits: Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, and Neuroticism were all significant predictors of distracted driving. Openness was the only one of the five personality traits to have no significant correlation. We used the ADBQ and the IPIP NEO PI-R to assess the relationship between personality and aggressive driving, and we found the same four personality traits: Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, and Neuroticism were all significant predictors of aggressive driving. Openness was, again, the only one of the five personality traits to have no significant correlation. Backward regression analyses were performed to determine what caused these relationships. The regression analysis displayed trait subscales: Morality, Cooperation, Self Discipline, Activity Level, Excitement Seeking, Anger, Emotionality, and Liberalism, each significantly contributed to driver distraction. Another backward regression analysis reveals trait subscales: Morality, Self-Efficacy, Dutifulness, Self Discipline, Anger, and Artistic Interests, each significantly contributed to driver aggression.

Traffic psychology is a rapidly expanding and broad field within applied psychology with a considerable volume of research activities and a growing network of academic strands of enquiry. The discipline primarily focuses on the behaviour of road users and the psychological processes underlying these behaviours, looking at issues such as cognition, distraction, fatigue, personality and social aspects, often delivering practical applications and educational interventions. Traffic psychology has been the focus of research for almost as long as the motor car has been in existence and was first recognised as a discipline in 1990 when the International Association of Applied Psychology formed Division 13: Traffic and Transportation Psychology. The benefits of understanding traffic psychology are being increasingly recognised by a whole host of organisations keen to improve road safety or minimise health and safety risks when travelling in vehicles. The objective of this volume is to describe and discuss recent advances in the study of traffic psychology, with a major focus on how the field contributes to the understanding of at-risk road-user behaviour. The intended readerships include road-safety researchers from a variety of different academic backgrounds, senior practitioners in the field including regulatory authorities, the private and public sector personnel, and vehicle manufacturers concerned with improving road safety.

Distracted driving characterized by texting, talking, reading & sending emails, taking selfies has reached epidemic level on our roads & highways. CDC reports that US had highest crash rate compared with 19 other industrialized countries. Aggressive driving also on increase. For many drivers, tail gating speed limits, stop and yield signs have become suggestions. Driver habits and attitudes have to change to reduce the carnage we are experiencing. Also increasing are pedestrian, bike & motorcycle crashes. WHO estimates over 1,000,000 deaths per year, globally.

Certain activities and events both inside and outside a vehicle can distract drivers and lead to degraded performance. New technologies- such as entertainment, communication, and driver assistance systems- play a significant role in distraction. This unique volume defines driver distraction, discusses various causes, and explains how to measure acceptable and unacceptable levels of distraction. Several chapters address measurement techniques based on performance and epidemiological studies. Most importantly, the text explores ways to mitigate driver distraction as well as countermeasures including vehicle design and effective legislation.

Distracted driving is among the leading causes of motor vehicle crashes worldwide, though the magnitude of this problem is difficult to quantify given the limitations of police-reported crash data. A more promising approach is to evaluate the impacts of distraction in real-world driving events. To that end, this study leverages data from the second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2) Naturalistic Driving Study (NDS) to gain important insights into the risks posed by driver distraction. The objectives of this study are to assess the risk of crash and near-crash events under different contextual environments based upon whether the driver was engaged in any secondary (i.e., non-driving related) tasks. The research also compares speed profiles of distracted drivers in low-speed and high-speed environments, providing important insights into how driver behavior changes based upon the type and intensity of distraction. The first analysis uses the standard SHRP 2 data to compare the differences between near-crash risks on limited access freeways and two-lane highways. Mixed-effects logistic regression models were estimated to discern how the risks of near-crash events varied by distraction type while controlling for the effects of driver, roadway, and traffic characteristics. In general, the risks were more pronounced for those distractions that were a combination of cognitive, visual, and manual distractions (for e.g., cell phone texting). While the same factors tended to increase near-crash risk on both types of facilities, the impacts of several factors tended to be more pronounced on two-lane highways where interaction with other vehicles occurred more frequently. The second analysis uses a subset of the NDS data that were focused on naturalistic engagement in secondary tasks (NEST). The NEST data were used to assess how the type and duration of distraction impacted the likelihood of crash and near-crash events. Separate comparisons were made between crashes and near-crashes with "normal" baseline driving events. The results show the duration of distraction to be a strong predictor of both crash and near-crash risk and were found to have similar relationships with crashes and near-crashes. The risks were highest for those secondary tasks that introduce a combination of visual and manual distractions that provides evidence that distractions requiring higher levels of engagement have more pronounced impacts on safety. The third and final analysis uses NEST data to analyze how driver speed selection varies based upon the types of secondary tasks that a driver is engaged in. Comparisons are made as to differences between high-speed and low-speed environments. Two-way random effects linear regression models were estimated for both speed regimes while controlling for driver, roadway, and traffic characteristics. In general, engagement in all tasks was found to decrease speeds in high-speed environments, while the effects were mixed in low-speed settings. These changes in speeds are much pronounced for secondary tasks that include a combination of visual, manual, and cognitive distractions, such as cell phone use. Among all secondary tasks, handheld cellphone talking was associated with highest speed changes in both environments followed by reaching/manipulating an object and holding an object. Ultimately, the results of this study provides further motivation for more aggressive legislation and enforcement against distracted driving. This can be achieved by enforcing strict laws and fines, graduated licensing process, public campaigns, modified infrastructure (rumble strips and tactile lane marking), and other such measures.
