Abstract

This widely quoted study is typical of much of the research on accident proneness. Its authors studied groups of Canadian taxi drivers with high and low accident rates in terms of a number of social and psychological characteristics. They considered the differences in personality structure as being indicative of accident proneness. On this basis, they claimed that the accident-prone individual is characterised by marked intolerance of and aggression toward authority, dating back to early childhood.
