ATTITUDES OF SCOTTISH DRIVERS TOWARDS SPEEDING - 1994 SURVEY
This report contains the results from a follow up of a similar research survey carried out in 1991. It has been designed in part to monitor any changes in driver attitudes and behaviour in relation to speeding since the first survey. An anti-speeding campaign was launched in 1991 reinforced by media publicity and periods of intensive monitoring by the police. The research was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of these campaigns aimed at reducing speed and identify any specific factors which may influence drivers' attitudes towards speeding. A total of 1079 household interviews were carried out within 102 sampling points, chosen to be representative of the driving population of Scotland. The report examines the perception of the main causes of accidents, the speed limits, the perception of risk, attitudes to enforcement and drivers' accident and speeding histories. Details of the sample profile and the questionnaire used are given in appendices.
