Abstract

Driving is a technical skill undertaken in a social context that affords expressive opportunities. Theories of driver behaviour need to account for why, where, when, what and how people drive. Levels of analysis include consideration of the social influences that sustain the culture of automobility; the network of travel and transport obligations that help define individual's activity patterns; the deviations from reference driving behaviour - violations - that partly constitute their driving style; and the system characteristics that promote or constrain cognitive failures - errors. This paper describes an attempt to incorporate some of these factors into a descriptive model of person and system influences on crash-involvement. For the covering abstract see ITRD E113725 (C 22328 CD-ROM).
