The primary study objective was to determine whether the subsequent driving records of problem drivers could be predicted following a group driver improvement meeting. Significant cross-validity coefficients of .11 and .33 were reported for collisions and convictions, respectively. Driver record and criminal record variables were the most influential predictors of subsequent driving record with psychological variables playing a relatively minor role. A novel study finding was that the multiple regression equation which was generated to predict subsequent convictions could predict subsequent collisions as well as or better than the collision equation itself.
