“…Participants were asked demographic questions about their gender, age, education, driving experience, and specific aspects of driving (accidents caused, involvement in accidents, driving frequency, etc.). The Lithuanian Hazard Prediction Test [22] was used to evaluate hazard perception skills. This newly developed Lithuanian questionnaire consists of 12 short video clips featuring real-life traffic situations in Vilnius and Kaunas city and rural areas, filmed from the driver's perspective and capturing actual hazards.…”

The aim of this study was to assess whether road risk, road hazard perception skills, and attitudes towards risky driving are significant psychological antecedents of different driving styles. The study sample consisted of 446 non-professional drivers (with an average age of 32.6 years) and 200 professional drivers (with an average age of 47.7 years) from Lithuania. The study questionnaire included demographic questions, a multidimensional driving style assessment, a Lithuanian version of a hazard prediction test, a risk perception scale, and a subjective evaluation of driving competenc3 (perceptual, motor, and safety driving skills), as well as an evaluation of attitudes towards risky driving. The results confirmed that cognitive factors, together with attitudes towards driving and demographic factors, are important for understanding the origins of different driving styles. Cognitive factors like hazard perception and risk perception skills were found to be significant predictors of anxious, careless, and angry driving styles, mainly for professional drivers. Attitudes towards risky driving together with demographic characteristics and cognitive factors were found to important in predicting anxious, careless, and angry driving styles among professional as well as non-professional drivers. The subjective evaluation of driving competence (driving skills) was found to be crucial in predicting all four driving styles, but only in the non-professional drivers sample.

This study aimed to compare four driving styles among professional and non-professional Lithuanian drivers and to assess the significance of demographic and cognitive factors in predicting investigated driving styles. The study included data from 446 nonprofessional drivers (mean of age 32.6 years) and 200 professional drivers (mean of age 47.7 years) in Lithuania. The research questionnaire comprised demographic data and self-report instruments for driving styles road risk perception and driving skills (perceptual-motor and safety) assessment. An interactive, video-based hazard prediction test was used to evaluate road hazard perception skills. The study results showed that professional drivers possess a more aggressive and more careless driving style, while nonprofessional drivers exhibited a more anxious driving style. It was found that longer driving experience, better self-assessed perceptual-motor skills, but poorer self-reported safety driving skills, were significant predictors for a driving style associated with a careless as well as with aggression, demonstrated among younger drivers. A poorer self-assessment of perceptual-motor driving skills was significantly associated with an anxious driving style among both professional and nonprofessional drivers with more driving experience. Finally, this study revealed that a safe driving style is significantly predicted by greater self-assessed perceptual-motor and safety driving skills.

“…So far, hazard perception has been extensively studied using tests in which drivers were asked to detect potential hazards in filmed road scenes 6 – 9 . Although these tests have been shown to be relatively effective, in particular, in predicting collisions 5 , 10 and in discriminating novice drivers from experienced drivers 3 , 11 , they do not provide a theoretical basis to clearly understand driver behavior when faced with hazards. To date, little research has attempted to explain the processes involved in detecting and responding to road hazards using a well-defined theoretical framework 3 .…”

In driving, poor hazard anticipation would provide drivers less time to prepare an appropriate response, increasing the urgency of the situation and generating more stress. Assuming this, the current study seeks to determine whether a predictable road hazard triggers hazard anticipation in drivers that can mitigate the ensuing stress response, and whether the stress response is influenced by driving experience. In a simulated road environment, a cue was used to trigger hazard anticipation, and a road hazard to induce a stress response. Heart rate, pupil diameter, driving speed, subjective stress, arousal, and negative emotions, were retrieved from 36 drivers who all faced the cue followed by the hazard (i.e. a predictable hazard), the cue only, and the hazard only. In the light of work on defensive behaviors, the findings indicate that a predictable hazard triggers hazard anticipation detectable via (1) freezing behavior—characterized by cardiac deceleration—(2) anticipatory pupil dilation and (3) anticipatory speed deceleration. The results also point to a beneficial role for hazard anticipation in reducing driver stress, as evidenced by reductions in peak heart rate levels, as well as in reported levels of stress and negative emotions. Finally, the findings showed an influence of driving experience on reported levels of stress. Overall, this study shows how previous work on defensive behaviors can be used to gain insight into the processes and driving behaviors involved in hazard anticipation and stress.
