Summary: The aim of this study was to determine the influence of variables derived from the approaches of Deterrence, Social Influence and Legitimacy in the violation of four traffic rules whose most worries to authorities and legislators in Spain: the use of seat belts, handling of the mobile phone while driving, speeding and driving while intoxicated by alcohol. To determine the role played by each factor in compliance with four of the most flouted traffic rules, a survey was administered by telephone to a random sample of 1500 Spanish drivers. The results obtained show the following conclusions: 1) social influence and legitimacy variables are determining factors to predict the probability of transgress every traffic rules; and 2) variables of the deterrence approach don’t seems to influence the behavior. The results show the need for a review of current public policy approaches for prevention of dangerous driving behaviors
