Abstract

Extraversion and neuroticism scores were related to the accident and violation records of a representative sample of 113 young male drivers. A significant positive correlation was found between extraversion and accidents, particularly non-intersection accidents. Neuroticism appeared to the related to accidents only in extreme subjects and when considered simultaneously with extraversion.
