N2  - OBJECTIVE: To find out the relationship of traffic accidents with life events, driving stress, aggressive driving, etc. METHODS: A total of 905 automobile drivers were investigated with life events scale (LES), general driver stress questionnaire, driver behavior inventory and accidents experience, etc. RESULTS: The scores of life events, driving stress, and aggressive driving in accident drivers (21.79 +/- 14.10, 23.81 +/- 11.86, 9.42 +/- 8.25 respectively) were higher than those in nonaccident drivers (16.82 +/- 8.45, 20.09 +/- 10.63, 5.66 +/- 7.54) (P < 0.01). The number of vehicle accidents was significantly correlated with the scores of LES, driving stress, driver's aggressive behavior, drowsy driving, weekly time of driving, drinking index (P < 0.05). A logistic analysis (Forward:LR) showed that the driving hour, drowsy driving, aggressive driving, and drinking index were closely related with traffic accidents (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION: Life events, driving stress and aggressive driving of the drivers are important factors related to traffic accidents.
