Self-reported road traffic violations in France and how they have changed since 1983.

Goals: The goal was to gain a picture of current driver behaviour, and of the links between committed violations and accident history. It was also to identify how driver behaviour has changed over the last 20 years.

Methods: A questionnaire-based cross-sectional study of a sample of 1161 drivers about the frequency of violations and the perception of the dangers and penalties associated with them was used in 2005.

Individuals taking a French driving licence points recovery course: their attitudes towards violations.

This paper sets out to describe the drivers attending driving licence points recovery courses (PRC), in order to modify the psychologist's approach during the sessions. The paper describes a questionnaire-based survey of a representative sample of 853 drivers taking a "course designed to raise awareness about the causes and consequences of road traffic accidents". The data are analyzed in part by applying a multiple correspondence analysis.
