Abstract

The zero- risk theory of driver behaviour essentially suggests that the driver generally tends to satisfy his or her excitatory kinds of motives (reaching the destinations and the so- called extra motives) but in such manner, that he or she feels no risk of an accident. Unfortunately, with driving experience, a shift occurs in the fear threshold in different traffic situations: driving becomes a habitual activity in which the driver maintains too short safety margins and performs objectively dangerous manoeuvres
