Abstract

This meta-analytic study examines the latest psychological research focusing on road safety on the four strategic directions proposed by domain practitioners: 1. personality characteristics in young drivers, 2. ageing population and road traffic, 3. relationship between driver personality and accident producing and 4. national profiles of drivers. This study aims to advocate in support of the idea that the Romanian road safety strategy (involving road campaigns education) must take into account the complexity of the relationship between an psychological risk factors (individual's personality, age, national profiles of drivers) and behavior in traffic.
