Speed and road accidents: risk perception, knowledge and attitude towards penalties for speeding
2015
Speed is one of the elements that most contributes to road fatality, and this explains the fact that it is often dealt with in the road safety field. The objective of this research was to understand the risk perception, attitude, and knowledge of the participants towards speeding and penalties for speeding. A sample of 1,100 Spanish drivers over 14 years old was used and they filled in a questionnaire. The average rate assessment of the risk of traffic crash was 8.3 (on a scale of 0 to 10). Participants would punish the speeding behaviour with great severity; an average of 8.2 on a scale of 0 to 10. Almost all participants (97.1%) agreed that speeding is a punishable behaviour. It is necess…
Diferencias individuales y riesgo en la conducción. Historia de un reto todavía no resuelto
1992
Se puede hablar con total propiedad de una tradición española en el estudio y la aplicación de los conocimientos psicológicos al fenómeno del tráfico, que se inicia en los años 20, si bien los primeros trabajos sistemáticos se realizaron fuera de nuestras fronteras. Se trata probablemente de la única competencia profesional de intervención psicológica regulada legalmente y mantenida a lo largo de toda la historia contemporánea española. El hilo conductor lo ha constituido el examen psicotécnico de selección de conductores -a profesionales primero, y a todos los conductores después- que en su estructura revela la evolución de la psicología. Con todo, paulatinamente se ha ido produciendo una …
Análisis del uso incorrecto y no uso de los elementos de retención infantil en el entorno del transporte escolar privado. Identificación de comportam…
2014
Según cifras del ERSO, los accidentes de tráfico son la primera causa de mortalidad de menores de 0 a 14 años en Europa. Dentro de este grupo existe un 42% de menores muertos en accidentes que viajaban y que no utilizaban ni el sistema de retención infantil ni el cinturón de seguridad. El estudio consistió en un cuestionario on-line (distribuido por Comunidades Autónomas proporcionalmente en función del número de habitantes) y un estudio de observación (Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Sevilla y Vizcaya) que se pasó respectivamente a 605 y 411 conductores de coche y furgoneta que transportaban niños entre 0 y 12 años. Entre un 3% y un 7% de los encuestados transportan a los niños sin el sistema…
Distracted driving in relation to risky road behaviors and traffic crashes in Bogota, Colombia
2022
The growing evidence on road distraction during the recent years has shown how road distractions might be playing a relevant role on traffic crash causation. However, the empirical insights about how it works in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are really limited so far. The case of Colombian non-professional drivers remains virtually unexplored on this regard. This research aims to assess the effect of road distractions, driving-related issues and road behaviors on the self-reported crashes suffered by drivers in Bogotá, Colombia. To do so, a sample of 659 drivers (64% males and 36% females) with a mean age of 37.9 years (SD = 11.7) was gathered, who answered an online survey on ro…
Is safety in the eye of the beholder? Discrepancies between self-reported and proxied data on road safety behaviors-A systematic review
2022
Recent studies have problematized on the lack of agreement between self-reported and proxied data in the field of road safety-related behaviors. Overall, and although these studies are still scarce, most of them suggest that the way we perceive our own road behavior is systematically different from the perspective from which we perceive others' behavior, and vice versa. The aim of this review paper was to target the number and type of studies that have researched the behavioral perceptions of different groups of road users, contrasting self-reported behavioral data with those reported by other users (proxied), and their outcomes. This systematic review followed the PRISMA methodology, which…

Analysis of the State and Development of Road Safety Education in Spanish Higher Education Institutions
2016
Traffic crashes are considered one of the major public health concerns, considering that this phenomenon explains a high number of deaths and injuries every year, and around all the world in different groups of population. The road safety education, (or traffic safety education), regarding the complexity of this process, and that it takes place during the complete process of life of individuals, is considered as a key determinant of road safety behaviors and a relatively lower road risk, essentially for road users with more and diverse high risk factors which may explain the occurrence of road accidents, such as young adults. The general objective of this study was to describe the associate…
Comparing Job Stress, Burnout, Health and Traffic Crashes of Urban Bus and BRT Drivers
2017
Professional driving is a very demanding task. According to the recent scientific evidence, Bus drivers tend to report high levels of occupational stress, burnout and occupational traffic accidents. With the implementation of new transportation modes, some substantial benefits and adverse circumstances for public transport operators have been documented. BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) systems have been implemented in different cities worldwide as an efficient alternative to fulfill difficulties and limitations related to traditional Urban Bus systems. However, in order to compare the efficiency of different public transport modes, it is important to assess, in addition to objective indicators, the…
Differences in the Assessment of Safe and Risky Driving Behaviors: Pedestrians Versus Drivers
2022
Interactions between pedestrians and drivers are an important traffic safety issue. Psycho-social factors such as thoughts, perceptions and attitudes toward other people can be reliable predictors of riskier or safer behaviors among road users. The aim of this study was to assess how frequently participants perceive that drivers perform safe and risky road behaviors through drivers’ self-reported behavior and pedestrians and other drivers’ external perceptions. The results show that pedestrians assess the road behaviors of drivers in a seriously negative way. Meanwhile, drivers perceive their own behaviors as more appropriate than those performed by the rest of drivers. Women attribute mor…
Un siglo de selección de conductores en España
2002
En su intento de trasponer a la normativa española la Directiva 91/439 del Consejo de las Comunidades Europeas que regula las clases y modelos del permiso de conducción, las aptitudes de los conductores y las pruebas necesarias para verificarlas, el Reglamento de Conductores en España ha ratificado la necesidad de que todos los aspirantes a la obtención o renovación del permiso de conducir se sometan a una exploración médico-psicológica previa a la concesión del permiso de circulación. La normativa mantiene una acción psicológica y un modelo preventivo, que fue legalizado en 1934, aunque ciertos ayuntamientos ya lo venían exigiendo para conductores del transporte público. Este ámbito defini…
