“…Risk perception, the ability of an operator to attribute crash risk correctly in a given context, is associated with crash risk in drivers 107,112 and increases with age. Moller studied adult cyclists' perception of risk at roundabouts which are known to present a greater risk of crash to cyclist than other road layouts 116 .…”

“…Furthermore, past studies demonstrated that both young (Brown & Groeger, 1988) and older drivers (Marottoli & Richardson, 1998) tend to overestimate their driving skills in self-reported measures. Although self-reported measures of driving skills and behaviors are biased and seem to reflect some sort of overconfidence effect, we still expected that drivers' level of cognitive and psychomotor abilities would be systematically associated with their driving skills and behaviors.…”

Summary:The purpose of this study is to predict self-reported driving and safety skills, traffic violations, and errors by using the measures of cognitive and psychomotor abilities. Male drivers (N = 716, mean age = 36.59) were administered the computerized measures of monotonous and selective attention, visual pursuit, eye-hand coordination, reaction time, and peripheral perception. They also responded to the measures of driving skills and behaviors. Examination of the correlations indicated that the indices of visual pursuit, coordination, peripheral perception, and reaction time significantly correlated with driving skills and aberrant behaviors. The results of the sequential regression analyses controlling for age, level of education, and annual km revealed that selective attention negatively and significantly predicted both types of skills and positively predicted violations and errors. Peripheral perception, visual pursuit, and reaction time were the significant predictors of driving skills and errors in the expected direction. Cognitive and psychomotor abilities accounted for 11% to 17% of the variances in the self-reported driving variables. Results suggested that although the magnitude of the associations was relatively weak, psychomotor and cognitive/perceptual abilities are associated with self-reported driving performance and behaviors for young and middle-aged drivers. These findings indicated that certain measures of cognitive and psychomotor abilities, such as peripheral perception and selective attention, have implications for driver assessment systems and should be carefully examined in future research.

“…Summala (1987) in Finland concluded that "declines occur in collision rate ... .ith increases in driving experience, particularly during the first 3 -5 years. Groeger and Brown (1989) ant., Brown and Groeger (1988) identified inexperience and lack of ability to identify hazards as .problems for young drivers. They found that experienced subjects were able to in rttify risk situations sooner and respond more quickly than inexperienced drivers.…”
