ABSTRACT
The potential value of specific skill based driver improvement interventions have been identified and in shown to be effective in certain cases (e.g., see Wilson, Lonero and Brezina, 1973; Wilson, 1990 and Wilson and Godin, 1993. In urban areas, actual driving time as an expression of overall trip speed and its relative contribution to collisions is a major source of discussion for driver and traffic administrator alike. In order to search for specific skill items useful for driver improvement interventions surrounding the trip time dimension the questions posed in this study were “Can drivers accurately estimate what their trip time is likely to be” and more importantly “Are there any significant differences between high accident and other drivers between their estimates of trip time and their actual trip time.
