Psychological factors that lead to risky, aggressive, and impaired driving

Road accidents are a preventable cause of serious physical injury, psychological distress (e.g., PTSD) and in many cases, death. The annual financial cost of road accidents in Australia is estimated at over $18 billion. This project will help to reduce the economic and social costs of road accidents by identifying when risky, aggressive, and impaired driving will occur and who will be most likely to commit these behaviours. The groundbreaking nature of this proposed project will ensure that Australia is at the forefront of driving safety research, thereby contributing to Australia's international profile for conducting influential and cutting-edge experimental research.
