Abstract:Very bluntly, culture matters, particularly related to daily, human behaviors. Culture signifies a feature of individuals that affects multiple components of daily life, such as rearing children and acceptance of risk and health outcomes. Correspondingly, driving represents an essential feature of who we are as individuals. As driver and passenger deaths represent a significant public health concern, discussion about the cause, reason, or justification for the crashes represents a difficult dialog. While some crashes are the result of strictly environmental conditions (i.e., weather, asphalt decay, traffic conditions, improperly working lights), a disproportionately large number of crashes are the result of driver error, stemming from distraction, following too close, improper lane changes, speeding, drinking while driving, or other behaviors.
