The main aim of this paper is to compare the level of self-criticism in Polish drivers and drivers in other countries. The research studied 448 drivers, 74 female and 374 male. The questions were tied with a level of self-criticism and with frequency of drivers errors. Polish drivers evaluated themselves more critically than their foreign colleagues. Most of them put themselves in groups with a good and average ability of driving, but women mainly put themselves in the last group. If one compares the level of self-critisism with another data such as: age, level of education, number of kilometers driven per year, and period of drivers practice, one can find that these factors play a serious role in creating drivers in creating drivers self-critisism. Especially, time of drivers practice and number of kilometers driven per year influenced strongly the number of drivers errors.
