“…There was low confidence and high avoidance for parallel parking and driving at night in the rain, and there was high confidence and low avoidance reported for driving alone. The finding that driving alone was the least avoided situation and was not viewed as very difficult (high level of confidence) is consistent with previous studies examining this set of driving situations (Ball et al, 1998;Owsley et al, 1999;Stalvey & Owsley, 2000).…”

“…The participants were required to complete a questionnaire on driving habits and attitudes that was based on questionnaires used previously in studies of older drivers (Owsley, Stalvey, Wells, & Sloane, 1999;Stalvey & Owsley, 2000). Included in the questionnaire were items about confidence in difficult driving situations, avoidance of difficult driving situations, and regulatory self-efficacy (the ease of avoiding difficult driving situations).…”

Although it is known that older drivers limit their driving, it is not known whether this self-regulation is related to actual driving ability. A sample of 104 older drivers, aged between 60 and 92, completed a questionnaire about driving habits and attitudes. Ninety of these drivers also completed a structured on-road driving test.A measure of self-regulation was derived from drivers' self-reported avoidance of difficult driving situations. The on-road driving test involved a standard assessment used to determine fitness to drive. Of the 90 participants who completed the driving assessment, 68 passed the test, eight passed but were recommended to have driving lessons and 14 failed. Driving test scores for the study were based on the number of errors committed in the driving tests, with weightings given according to the seriousness of the errors.The most commonly avoided difficult driving situations were parallel parking and driving at night in the rain, while the least avoided situation was driving alone. Poorer performance on the driving test was not strongly related to overall avoidance of difficult driving situations. Stronger relationships were found between driving ability and avoidance of specific difficult driving situations. These specific driving situations were the ones in which the drivers had low confidence and that the drivers were most able to avoid if they wished to. These results may reflect a tendency for those with poorer driving ability to lose confidence in their driving, and begin to avoid difficult driving situations. However, there are a number of situations that drivers find difficult to avoid.

“…Attempts to record and measure driving exposure accurately in older populations have been made in previous research (e.g., telephone [DeCarlo et al, 2003;Owsley et al, 1999], paper [Kiernan et al, 1999] and computer [Wolf et al, 2000] surveys), although the accuracy and validity of these methods have yet to be confirmed. Driving diaries are less preferable than electronic devices as they are more onerous on the participant and may lead to high dropout rates if the study duration is long.…”

“…De los cinco bloques anteriores, la fiabilidad del segundo fue previamente medida en una muestra de 90 alumnos y médicos residentes de primer año del Hospital Clínico Universitario de Granada (España), contrastándola con la obtenida a través de una versión modificada del Driving Habits Questionnaire, desarrollado por Owsley et al 18 , obteniéndose una concordancia aceptable entre ambos instrumentos. Con respecto al bloque IV, la validez de convergencia y de criterio de las circunstancias planteadas (seleccionadas por un panel de expertos a partir de una revisión exhaustiva de la bibliografía) 19 , ha sido validada previamente a partir de la muestra de estudiantes universitarios de Granada 20 .…”

El objetivo fue identificar y cuantificar la asociación entre la intensidad de exposición (km/año recorridos), la accidentalidad y sus factores asociados en universitarios de Guatemala. Se realizó un estudio trasversal durante el curso 2010-2011, sobre una muestra de 1.016 conductores, quienes cumplimentaron un cuestionario autoadministrado que valoraba: patrones de movilidad, uso de dispositivos de seguridad, estilos de conducción y accidentalidad. Se obtuvieron asociaciones positivas entre la intensidad de exposición y la mayor implicación en circunstancias de riesgo al volante (coeficiente de regresión ajustado de 3,25, IC95%: 2,23-4,27, para las mayores exposiciones). Tanto una mayor implicación en tales circunstancias, como una mayor edad, fueron las variables más fuertemente asociadas con la mayor accidentalidad. Pese a que la intensidad de exposición se asocia positivamente con una mayor accidentalidad, se constató que la mayor parte de dicha asociación está mediada por una mayor implicación en circunstancias de riesgo al volante.
