“…It follows that patients with severe physical or cognitive disabilities, and a high risk factor for accidents, can be at low risk if they appreciate the relevance of their deficits and act consequently. According to this view, several theoretical approaches to modelling driving behaviour (like motivational [53] or cybernetic models [11]) have addressed functional and higher-order cognitive aspects rather than perceptual-motor skills alone (see Ranney [53] for a review). Michon [54,55] proposed a conceptual model that schematizes driving into three main hierarchically interconnected components: strategic, tactical and operational.…”

“…Car crashes are quite rare events and produce a variable with restricted range. Consequently, this parameter could have poor statistical power [10,53]. Furthermore, accidents may have different causes not necessarily related to unsafe driving or individual factors.…”

“…The 1970s saw the breakthrough of motivational models (Summula, 1985) which assumed that driving is a self-paced task and that drivers select the amount of risk they are willing to tolerate (Ranney, 1994). That is, these models assumed an active role for the driver in dealing with task demands.…”

Car drivers appear to reduce their driving speed in high task demand situations. Summala's [Safety Sci. 22 (1996) 103±117]; [in: J.A. Rothengatter, & E. Carbonell Vaya (Eds.), Tra c and Transport Psychology: Theory and Application, Pergamon, Oxford, 1997, pp. 41±52] model of behavioural adaptation (MBA) also assumes that drivers increase speed in low task demand situations or attend to additional tasks more. The present study investigated the relation between driving speed and task demands in simulated driving. Participants were observed under three speed conditions, driving fast, driving as if taking a driving test, and following a fast-driving car. The same route was driven twice under each of these speed conditions: once with and once without the concurrent performance of an auditory short-term memory task. All other things being equal, driving fast required more e ort than driving more slowly, which was not compensated for by better memory performance. This refutes one assumption of the MBA. When following a fast-driving car, participants invested less e ort than when driving fast. As auditory route guidance messages were embedded within the memory task, participants were forced to attend the memory task in all rides of the Fast and Accurate conditions, but not in the Car Following conditions. This can also explain why the memory task had no e ect on cognitive e ort. It is concluded that car drivers prioritise their task goals. Ó

“…The idea of multi-functional behavior is cited in Table 1 as a benefit of automatic processing. Numerous studies have examined driving and its relationship to automaticity (e.g., Michon, 1985;Rasmussen, 1987;Summala, 1988;Ranney, 1994) and will be examined in the ensuing paragraphs. Summala (1988) examined the interaction of automatic and controlled processes in driving.…”

“…For instance, at the operational level decisions have to be made very quickly whereas at the strategic level time is actually not a factor when making the decision. Ranney (1994) examined various theories of driving and the role of automaticity within them. He stated that because driving involves a seemingly endless variety of situations, a model of driving behavior must allow for the development of automaticity in the absence of highly consistent stimulus conditions.…”
