Abstract:This report describes the development of a driver risk questionnaire that is intended to be used for the identification of accident-prone drivers from problem drivers in general and from alcoholic drivers in particular. A self-administered questionnaire which assesses drivers' demographic and personality characteristics, life events, general psychological stress, traffic exposure, and drinking was used in two phases of investigation; 532 drivers and 1059 drivers respectively participated in the two phases. The results, based on analysis of the retrospective data of the accidents which were reported by the drivers, showed promising moderate correlations between these accidents and our constructed risk score. However, the most important validating correlation between the risk score and the prospective accidents which appeared on driving records was low and statistically not significant. Since it was shown that recorded accidents are substantially less than those reported by the drivers, other validating criteria should be used in future research. /Abstract from report summary page/
