The article presents the results of a study of the characteristics of the behavior of drivers on the road and dangerous driving style. 143 people aged from 22 to 77 years old (Max. = 49.03 ± 9.69) were examined, 90 of them were drivers who violated the traffic rules, and 91 – were drivers who had been previously involved in road traffic accidents, also in the ones which caused someone’s death (n = 15). The experience of driving a vehicle was from 6 to 59 years. The participants were asked to complete the socio-demographic characteristics questionnaire, the road behavior questionnaire and the questionnaire of attitudes towards alcohol.
It was revealed that the majority of drivers in a tense or tired state refuse to travel by a vehicle, while 2 times less of participants note that a tense or tired state is not the reason for refusing to travel on a personal vehicle. The reasons that complicate the management of the vehicle are given. The main sources of driver irritation on the road are listed. Next, using the contingency tables, the differences between drivers, exceeding and not exceeding the speed limit in the city and on the highway, are described.
A separate section presents the correlation analysis within the groups of drivers who were and weren’t involved in road traffic accidents. Based on the data obtained, it was concluded that it is necessary to develop criteria for the psychological assessment of dangerous driving, which would include not only data on the individual and psychological characteristics of the driver’s personality, but also will take into account the impact on the driving style of personal attitudes to the rules of the road.
