“…On the other hand, the results of this study showed that greater risk perception was found to be related to reckless, aggressive, and anxious driving styles among professional drivers. This result contradicts previous assumptions that these driving styles have to be related to poorer risk perception skills [3,13,14]. Perhaps this result indicates that successful experience in identifying risk stimuli while driving encourages self-confidence, which is associated with unsafe habitual driving.…”

“…It was found that poor hazard perception skills significantly relate to only an aggressive driving style, and only in the sample of professional drivers. Drivers with poor hazard perception skills may have difficulty recognizing potential dangers on the road promptly [13]. They might fail to notice subtle cues, such as a car suddenly braking ahead, or a pedestrian about to cross the street.…”

“…It is worthwhile to note that in this study, hazard prediction skills and hazard perception skills are used as synonyms [12]. Previous research has indicated that a safe driving style is significantly associated with better risk perception skills on the road, while reckless, aggressive, and anxious driving styles are more closely linked to poorer risk perception skills [3,13,14]. Drivers who exhibit a safe driving style tend to focus their attention and shift their concentration effectively when observing traffic flow and potential risk-inducing stimuli.…”

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.
