Samenvatting
The individual differences that are associated with driving behaviour and road traffic accidents were investigated using an international literature review. Age, gender, ethnicity, education, personality, risk perception, social deviance, previous accident involvement, experience, stress, life events, fatigue and physiology were considered. The main results are presented. Suggestions to improve safety include checking the personality profiles of candidates for jobs involving a lot of driving, minimum age limits on driving, training to improve risk perception, training to improve the skills of specific groups, and more effective management of stress by employers.
