ABSTRACT
Research in the area of traffic psychology has defined some personality traits and behaviours as risky or problematic in the driving context (Hennessy, 2011). When a person drives, individual factors and behaviours are expressed between drivers, pedestrians and passengers (Hennessy, 2011). Risky personality traits include such constructs as: sensation seeking, impulsiveness, aggressiveness, anger, negative emotions, stress susceptibility and locus of control (Hennessy, 2011; Roberti, Storch and Bravata, 2003). A combination of these traits have been shown to predict traffic violations and accident risk (Ellison-Potter, Bell and Deffenbacher, 2006; Hennessy, 2011).
