Abstract

Relatively little research has endeavoured to examine the self-reported driving behaviours and attitude of work-related drivers, especially taxi drivers. In addition, little research could be found that examines the influence of professional driver behaviours and the subsequent potential effect on organisational economic prosperity, liveability and sustainability. As a result, the current study aimed to: 1. examine a group of professional fleet drivers attitudes and behaviours regarding road safety issues via two measurement tools; and 2. explore the relationship between driver behaviour and potential countermeasures aimed at improving road safety, including crash and offence involvement, and therefore, the economic prosperity, liveability and sustainability of the organisation. (a) For the covering entry of this conference, please see ITRD abstract no. E217541.
