Abstract

This report examines the characteristics of drivers who engage in high-risk driving behaviours. Its primary objective is to provide a review of the literature on the characteristics of drivers who engage in high-risk driving behaviours. The purpose of this review is three-fold: To identify and summarize the characteristics of high-risk drivers-i.e., those who persistently engage in speeding, driving after drinking, non-use of seat belts, and/or running red lights; To determine the extent to which high-risk drivers are more likely to become involved in fatal and personal injury collisions; and to determine the extent to which the various risky driving behaviours are interrelated.
