AGGRESSION IN ROAD TRAFFIC

AGRESSIE IN HET VERKEER

It is stated that although everyone must be willing to take risks, certain risks are unnecessarily high. This is particularly so as regards road traffic. The article reviews the extent to which aggessive behaviour is seen on the roads and how this behaviour can be modified. Observations at pedestrian crossings were used to measure the aggressiveness of drivers. Recommendations are made with respect to education which could lead to the improvement of the situation. /TRRL/
