CALIFORNIA DRIVER SURVEY: THE HABITS AND OPINIONS OF DRIVERS ON SELECTED TRAFFIC SAFETY RELATED ISSUES
Five thousand six hundred thirty-one California drivers responded to a 10-item questionnaire dealing with driver opinion, exposure (mileage), seat belt use, and socioeconomic indicators. Respondents indicated strong support for provisional licensing of young drivers and for proof of auto insurance before car licensure, but strong opposition to expansion of mail-in license renewal to include all drivers, regardless of prior driving record. Opinions varied somewhat at different levels of respondents' education or prior driving records. Tabulations are presented on respondents' driving exposure, frequency of seat belt use, and such socioeconomic indicators as education level, year of vehicle driven most often, employment status, whether respondent usually drove a four-cylinder car, and whether respondent was a housewife. Some of the driving exposure and socioeconomic items were similar to questions on the 1975 California Driver Survey.
