Driving while impaired (DWI) is a grave and persistent high-risk behavior. Previous work demonstrated that DWI recidivists had attenuated cortisol reactivity compared to non-DWI drivers. This suggests that cortisol is a neurobiological marker of high-risk driving. The present study tested the hypothesis that this initial finding would extend to first-time DWI (fDWI) offenders compared to non-DW...

the fear of driving can be severe enough to be considered a phobia. it is often great enough that people will avoid driving at all costs and instead find someone to drive them or use public transportation, regardless of how inconvenient or expensive. this fear will cause many to avoid driving, create excuses to not drive, or even refuse to get a driver's license for years. the aim of this ...

This study developed a scale to measure 502 Taiwan traffic police officers' perceived ability to detect, detain, and intercept those vehicles whose drivers are driving while intoxicated (DWI) when conducting sobriety checkpoints. Through factor analysis, the officers' enforcement ability was found to consist of two component latent traits: detecting ability (DA) and detaining and intercepting a...

Collisions at intersections account for more than 50 percent of total traffic accidents in Japan [1]. The most common cause of these incidents is human error. Therefore, understanding the nature of driving behavior at intersections is essential for developing and implementing accident prevention measures. This study aimed to examine the influence of a driver's repeated experience with crossing ...

OBJECTIVE The study examined reported behavior, perceptions and attitudes related to drink-driving among company vehicle drivers located across eight countries. An additional aim of the research was to identify important predictors of drink-driving. METHOD A cross-sectional mailshot questionnaire survey was undertaken on all drivers of company vehicle identified by the collaborating companies...

Application of the headspace solid-phase microextraction and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC/MS) technique as an analytical tool to monitoring the degradation of phenolic compounds and the formation of by-products in produced water by UV photolysis and UV/peroxide is proposed. All of the experimental conditions for the degradation tests were carried out according to the respons...

By conducting an interview survey using actual driving videos, we found that normal drivers without the right of way have incorrect awareness of the potential hazards when entering a non-signalized intersection. We also conducted a questionnaire survey in which subjects answered a sequence of their driving behaviors concerning when and how they make safety checks and operate the accelerator and...
