The results presented in this report provide a valuable ‘portrait’ of the attitudes, opinions and behaviours of European drivers. The size of the sample (over 24,000 drivers were interviewed) and the length of the questionnaire (with well over 100 questions being asked) represent a unique source of data for providing a better understanding of a wide variety of driver behaviour and road safety issues. It is possible to analyse the data in a number of different ways. For example, it provides the opportunity to study driver demographics (such as age, gender, lifestyle), compare the results from different countries, and also to monitor how things may have changed since previous SARTRE surveys. Importantly, the ‘contextual’ data that was collected during the study provides valuable background information that can be called upon to help explain the findings. (Author/publisher)
