Abstract

It has been mentioned frequently by traffic authorities and other interested individuals that driving attitudes are often associated with driving behavior which leads to traffic violations or accidents.
Faulty, incorrect, and unsafe attitudes have been held primarily responsible for many hazardous situations which arise in traffic.

Some public officials and others believe that perhaps most accidents would be prevented if individual drivers would consistently display this so-called proper and safe driving attitude toward other drivers, the traffic situation, law enforcement officers and agencies, and themselves while driving their cars. Other people may express a more conservative view that certain driving attitudes sometimes produce or directly preceed driving behavior which causes accidents.
