Abstract

Seventeen subjects matched for driving experience were divided into four groups, according to accident and violation records, and were tested for their ability to process information. Subjects who had a high accident record processed information at a significantly lower rate (p 0.01) than non-accident subjects. Subjects who had many violations, but no accidents, were the best information processors. There was a significant (p 0.01) interaction between accident and violation record. These results and their implications are discussed.
