Abstract

Recent research conducted by showing videos of the same road segments driven at different speeds to drivers showed that driver ratings of feelings of risk did not necessarily co-vary with ratings of statistical risk. However they do vary very closely with ratings of task difficulty. Task difficulty is very highly correlated with speed, and there is no relationship between statistical risk and speed at lower speeds. Feelings of risk were systematically related to speed. The role of feelings in decision making are explored in relation to the somatic marker hypothesis and the agenda for future research into drivers' decisions on choice of speed and risk assessment. The role of driver age and experience is also considered. For the covering abstract see ITRD E157496
