Drivers offenders, a profile of deviant behavior? Analysis of differences and similarities with a
sample of drivers in the general population. With the latest amendments to the Penal Code in
road safety certain driving behaviors have acquired the consideration of crime and may be
punishable with imprisonment. This has been a complement to the call "demerit point system"
and has led to an increase in research on variables related to the unlawful conduct of the driver.
In this line, the aim of this study was to determine whether there are differences between the
drivers of the general population and offenders in a number of personality traits and how they
experience and express their emotions at the wheel. In addition, we wished to examine their
driving habits and history of fines and accidents in order to determine if there is a deviant
profile offender and drivers convicted of crimes against road safety. A survey was made with a
group of drivers convicted of traffic offenses and a control group. The latter was made up 647
drivers of the Galician population aged 19 to 74 years, and 52% women and 48% men.
Offenders were selected from among those who participated in a re-education course taught by
psychologists from COP Galicia. The results show that offenders scored higher on impulsivity
than drivers of the general population and often express their anger by physical aggressive
behaviors. In addition, those convicted of traffic offenses consume more alcohol, more violate
traffic rules and are involved in more accidents without victims. These results have important
implications in the design of prevention and intervention programs in the field of road safety. |
