Risk Drivers Pose to Themselves and Other Drivers by Violating Traffic Rules.

CONCLUSIONS: Often times, drivers perceive that violating traffic rules does not result in a crash or severe injury. However, the results from this study show that a majority of the traffic violations lead to severe injury to themselves as well as to other drivers. The findings from this study serve as documented evidence to educate drivers about the risk they pose to themselves and to other drivers by violating traffic rules and encourage the adaptation of safe driving behavior in order to contribute towards reaching the "zero traffic deaths" vision. They also help make policy changes pertaining to penalty points and fine amount for violating a traffic rule. PMID: 27257740 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
