    Background: The aims of this study were to adapt the Attitudes Toward Safety Regulations (ATSR) questionnaire for professional drivers (Douglas & Swartz, 2009) to Spanish and analyze the scale’s psychometric properties. Method: A version adapted to Spanish was administered to 507 participants, 91.2% of whom were men and 8.8% were women. Results: Confirmatory factor analysis (ESEM) was applied. The results were replicated with the same number of items and the resulting subscales showed good reliability. When we related the scores obtained on these subscales to various external correlates and other scales, they showed good concurrent and criterial validity. Conclusions: The Spanish version of the ATSR questionnaire, designed for all types of professional drivers from various sectors, is a reliable and valid instrument for assessing attitudes towards driving safety regulations. Future research could use the ATSR as a screening tool in combination with other instruments to select drivers who exhibit safe driving behaviors. This would result in fewer traffic collisions and fewer penalties for traffic violations.
