The Patterns of Drivers' Traffic Behavior: Evidence From Three Countries

<p style="text-align: justify;">The article is aimed at studying the international experience of psychological interventions used by road psychologists when working with offending drivers. The article notes that over the past decades there has been a significant increase in the number of studies that consider various preventive programs, including psychological interventions aimed at preventing accidents and traffic accidents. However given the large number of specialized trainings and educational activities that have been undertaken in recent years, it can be considered that the total number of published works with presented “evidence-based practices” is relatively small. A significant point among these works is occupied by a review of studies of psychological interventions (interventions) aimed at preventing drunk driving. It is emphasized that alcohol is one of the most obvious factors affecting driving. The article emphasizes that the analysis of the practices of psychological interventions aimed at preventing drunk driving can be considered as an important step for the activities of practical psychologists in the field of road safety, as well as the system of medical and psychological assessment of suitability for driving a vehicle. In turn, the study and use of such psychological practices contributes to the solution of the most important social problem - reducing the level of accidents on the roads and saving human life.</p>
