摘要: Permanent individual differences in driver behavior and accident risk have long been under active debate. Cognitive personality factors correlated with risky driving indicators cross-sectional studies, prospective cohort studies are now increasingly revealing early antecedents of injury mortality adult age, connections to stable traits. However, long-term stability or involvement has not documented a general population.This study reports 24-year follow-up data from that compared the recorded offenses between 134 drivers stopped by police because sustained 121 control at same locations time 1987 (Rajalin, 1994. Accid. Anal. Prev., 26, 555–562). Data were compiled national records statistics for again 24 years later, their yearly mileage speed was requested mail survey. The results showed two groups sampled on one trip quarter century ago still differ each other. offenders more entries record, also when adjusted age (OR = 1.59, CI 1.03–2.46), they report survey drive faster overtake other cars often. show persist decades, perhaps life. this on-road sample, effect seems be moderated occupation which presumably explains lower among during follow-up.
