Young driver behaviour is a subject of great interest due to the high number of car crashes and deaths. This study aims to describe the driving behaviour of a sample of young Romanian drivers from the perspective of the generic error modelling system taxonomy. We used the Romanian version of Driver Behaviour Questionnaire (Reason,1990) on a sample of 815 drivers aged between 18 and 25 years. The overall results indicate that young drivers perceive certain aberrant behaviours as being less risky than they are and that it exists is a significant need to educate them regarding security behaviours on roads.
