Highlights This review aimed to identify the most influential personality predictors of speeding. Anger-Aggression positively correlated with Speeding (at a low intensity). Impulsive-Sensation Seeking correlated stronger with Speeding (also at low intensity). For professional drivers, the associations with Speeding were non-significant.

    Abstract Introduction: The purpose of this review was to identify the most influential personality predictors of speeding. Method: Thus, this study analyzed the associations of Anger-Aggression and Impulsive-Sensation Seeking with Speeding. Research studies included in online databases and papers identified in previous reviews were considered for inclusion. Results: Using a random effects model, we found a small but significant effect for the relation between Anger-Aggression and Speeding (r = 0.12 [0.06–0.18], Z = 3.85, p < 0.001). We identified a significantly stronger effect for the relation between Impulsive-Sensation Seeking and Speeding, but still of low magnitude (r = 0.23 [0.16–0.29], Z = 6.54, p < 0.001). Moderator analysis revealed only one significant moderator: driver type. Namely, for professional drivers, the relation with Speeding was non-significant for both predictors (r = −0.004, p = 0.958 for Impulsive-Sensation Seeking and r = 0.02, p = 0.720 for Anger-Aggression, respectively) and significantly smaller than the associations for general population and young drivers. Conclusions: Overall, our results confirm Speeding’s associations with both hypothesized most important predictors, but at a low magnitude.
