Aggressive behavior while driving as predictor of self-reported car crashes.

Problem: In Greece, there is a lack of scientific evidence on the relationship between aggressive behavior while driving and young drivers' involvement in car crashes; this study examined this potential relationship.

Methods: The randomly selected samples of 356 young drivers (18-24 years old) were interviewed through a questionnaire of self-reported car crash involvement, which mainly focused on their behavior on the road and the number of car crashes in which they had been involved.

Results: The statistical methods used were principal components analysis (PCA) and multiple regression analysis.
