An attempt is made to establish criteria by which problem drivers can be identified when tested for personality traits and studied for biographical differences in age, marital status, self-concepts, and choice of automobile. Part 1 of the study indicates that high-violation and/or high-accident drivers have personality traits that differ significantly from those of other drivers; and that certain scales could, after further validation for the specific use, be valuable in making early identification of unsafe drivers. Part 2 of the study shows that driving records (accidents and violations) have a relationship to the biographical differences among drivers. (Author)
